Okay, let me explain my frustration. I currently have the use of a 27 acre river bottom pasture that is great prime grass for cattle. I know it's only 27 acres but it's all I got for now and it's a good un. I'm always looking for more pasture for cattle and you won't believe the prices I get quoted for the use of some. It could be my location being so close to a bigger city and all and/or people are just nuts and think everyone with cattle are getting rich :roll: . I just got an e-mail from someone that said they had 20 acres of pasture that was half fenced with a pond. They wanted to rent it to me for $350 a month and I had to pay for and fence the rest myself! I'll just let you imagine what I thought to myself. I did write a two paragraph e-mail back explaining leasing pasture for cattle and how $350 a month for 20 acres was absurd, they probably think I'm lying trying to get a better deal. Heck the 27 acres I use is within 17 miles of downtown Nashville, Tn. and all I have to do there is bush-hog and keep the fences in order so my cattle don't get out. But the new people living there are from Montana and been around cattle & horses their entire life and they seem to get it. I guess I'm just not well enough connected yet, maybe time will help my cause. Oh yeah, the people wanting $350 a month for 20 acres are about 40 miles from Nashville, usually the farther out you get the more they understand! :x
