[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 438519, member: 6496"] In my opinion a hobby farmer is one that has just a few head of livestock with no intentions of growing into a business. Most of these people live on "area acreages" or "ranchettes". I was just at a place yesterday to meet a fella who was delivering a pony to woman. To hear this woman talk about her horses and how she cares for them was all I could do to try not to laugh. They lived on 5 acres in a subdivision where all of the neighbors had one or two horses or cows. I was happy to load up my POA weanling and get back home. If you have a handful of cows with the knowledge to care for them and working a full time job to pay for them in order to increase your herd to self sustainment levels, that isn't a hobby farmer. I don't care how much you make off of them a year, you have to start somewhere and most can't start with even a hundred head. [/QUOTE]
