[QUOTE="Bigtmiller, post: 636416, member: 9977"] I agree most people would just wilt if they did the work that I did back when I worked in a feedlot. I rode pens for 3 winters straight. I love it when people say how fun it would be to ride horses everyday. Not when its 10 below and the Nebraska wind is blowing about 30. We had 15 people to care for 45,000 head. We busted our buts everyday from about 4am for loadouts to 6pm penning new incoming cattle. But man it was fun. So if your trying to scare me with the thought of hard work, you are wasting your time. I know exactly what I am getting into. From fixing fence in February, Castrating 500 calfs in the hot summer sun, Implanting 1200 head a day for 3 weeks straight, to relaxing checking heats and watching the sun set, its all good. Its a better life than I have now. May not make the $$$, but the quality of life is better. And, sailing is for ...... Never had time for that. Only one thing I like better than farming and that is hunting. Nice thing is, if I get my own land, I also have a place to hunt. [/QUOTE]
