[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1028711, member: 8993"] Dad ran a dairy when I was small and a few beef cows. I hated it and swore I would never do it. After I got married one of the things I had to do was drive my father-in-law around to all the sales. He was a trader and a very good one that gave me some valuable lessions, one being not to trade with him. :nod: Started out with 3 hereford cows and everyone laughed at me for giving too much. $300 each. That was 1984. When they calved I bought a Charolais bull and again everyone laughed at me. That fall the calves averaged over $400. Later on I got to trading and figured out that was where the money was if you really knew the cattle and the markets. I now keep around 150 head and buy something every week. I have my keeping herd and then the trade cows. Sure would like to trade some with hooknline. :lol2: [/QUOTE]
