[QUOTE="SF, post: 572438, member: 1171"] What exactly is are "serious cattlemen"? Is there a quantity of animals that one must own? Is there a certain amount of revenue one must have? A profit margin? I live in an area surrounded by huge cattle ranches. One of my neighbors has about 10,000 head of cows. Would he be a "serious cattleman". He actually makes a living with his cows. Another neighbor only has about 6,000 head. Is he less serious? Of course he has about a 1/2 dozen oil wells on his property, so maybe he is just a hobby rancher. I don't think he needs his cows. Then my neigbor to the north, he only has about 800 head, but he has to make a living off of his, he doesn't have any oil or gas wells on his land. I read and hear this phrase all the time when self appointed experts start talking about miniature cattle. I would just like to know what the definition of a "serious cattlemen" is or the other phrase is "real cattleman". LOL [/QUOTE]
