[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1032575, member: 16769"] As a side-note to my original post . . . . I'm the oldest of 7 children; 2 sisters, 4 brothers. Ancestors on my dad's side were Dakota farmers during the depression, and most of dad's sibs struggled through their teen years working for neighboring farmers. Gram was widowed when my Dad was 5 yrs. old; she had 5 children and never remarried. She was a tough old bird, and none of those kids had it easy. My grandmother lived to 102 -- she fixed meals for horse-drawn threshing crews and saw the first man on the moon. The older 4 of us grew up in the Dakotas, in very small towns, spending many weekends on local farms/ranches (me + 3 brothers). The rest are pretty much too young to remember to those days. Today, all 3 girls are involved in ag endeavors, and the oldest brother has just joined with the Baker City sister on her ranch. My mom never would have made a farm girl, was mortified when we discussed AI at the table on recent holidays; Dad was burned out on farming long ago. But the next generation embraced it. [/QUOTE]
