[QUOTE="63DH8, post: 274674, member: 4679"] It's going to start out for fun, but knowing how I am, it may end up as a business venture. I have a hard time sitting and not doing anything. Also, I have a hard time accepting the status quo with myself. I'm the type of person who has to tweak my truck here and there to suit my needs and wants. I started out designing and building equipment that my disabled daughter needed that wasn't on the market, and ended up starting a business so others can get things they need too. I don't like hearing, "You can't" or "I can't"! This is America! We can do anything we put our minds to and succeed! However, just because I enjoy pushing myself, I don't see there are any reason I need to push others as far as I do myself. Others include the cattle I want to raise. Problem one is, outside that canyon, the environment changes. It's flat farmland just over the south side of the hills in the pictures, and on the north side, there's snow until late May-early June. There are cattle out there, but very few, and they're almost all black and white hybrids. I'm not dismissing hybrids. They've been bred to be tailored to the environment they're in. Buttt.... I'd like something old fashion, unique, traditional... out of the ordinary for the area, yet hardy for the environment. The 120 acre land that's in the picture has never been farmed or ranched. The owner lives in Hawaii and bought it as investment property decades ago, and either he or his estate is selling off land he owns here. Further up the canyon, there's 460 acres that belongs to the State's BLM that's for sale. It's been farmed and is stripped bare of native plants. Both the 120 and the 460 acres have water, but no electricity. What I would like to do is divide the land so I can have cattle in one part, and allow the land and plant life to recover while the cattle aren't in that fenced off section. btw... You owe me a new keyboard and monitor with that divorce crack! I wasted a perfectly good cup of coffee blowing it out my nose all over everything in front of me!
