[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1389582, member: 17843"] My regret is that I didn't stay or join in cattle all along instead of 6 years ago, but I guess we take other paths in life. My grandfather farmed all his life and passed away in the 1980s. We kept the farm, but at the time, everybody had other jobs going on, so cattle wasn't a priority. My dad ran a few in the 90s and my brother joined until around 2001 when my brothers work took him in other directions and my father couldn't do it alone. I decided along with my brother to buy some cattle again in 2010, which we still have. I don't claim to be a big time cattle man. My brother and I have 20 in a cow-calf operation. I know some people hate the term "hobby farmer," but that describes us much more than Anything else. We aren't doing it for a living. The farm has long ago been paid for, but if two of us could have been able to be together at the same time to have stayed with it, things would have been maintained a little better and all the "start up" crap would have been out of the way a long time ago. We would have had the enjoyment of the cattle and would have made a few extra bucks over the years. So I could kick myself for that. [/QUOTE]
