[QUOTE="Bigtmiller, post: 636396, member: 9977"] Thanks for the info bigbull338. Like I said I worked with cattle for some time on some very good ranches. My dad and I even had a small herd of 7 head before I went off to college. As for the question that was asked. What would you rather do..... (A) Bury $10,000 cash in an airtight sack in a secret location that will retain $9,900 buying power a year later (B) Buy $10,000 worth of cattle, feed, vacs, meds, fertilizer, etc. that will retain $8,000 buying power a year later If I am doing something I love to do, and enjoy it, I would not care if I invested 10 grand and only had a 100 bucks a year later. Well maybe not that bad, but you get my point. I have a very fast paced high stress job now. I travel accross the country every week. While sitting on planes or in crowded airports, I usually find myself thinking about how great it was working on the ranch, fixing fence, or riding pens in the feedlot. My plan is to set myself up to have a nice herd of cattle and some land by the time I am ready to step out of this fast paced life. I figure 10 years, I can have maybe 75 head, and purchase my own land. Then I can retire from this job and maybe get a nice USDA job or something like that. Thanks, Tom [/QUOTE]
