[QUOTE="tex452, post: 1830177, member: 41841"] I can’t remember not being around cattle, my grandpa, great grandpa, uncle’s, father always had cattle, and I always had a passion for it, I went in business with my grandpa in 1980, we raised cattle,hay and about 15 acres of corn, we took the corn to the local mill to grind for feed and range meal. I bought my first place in 1992, 103 acres I ran cattle got in the chicken business and leased 3 acres of it to an oil company ( that has paid for the place a couple of times) , I got half the minerals when I bought it and got pooled in a well that done pretty good. I bought my other two places in 2016 (194 acres) and 2020 ( 171.5 acres ). We worked hard but I enjoyed every minute of it, the whole time I kept a full time job. We’re thinking about getting into more of the hay making side. I have made more money buying and selling cattle than the cow/calf operation, the problem to that business is when you get a group of good cows, it’s hard to turn them loose. [/QUOTE]
