[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1284707, member: 22072"] i know of a guy who borrowed money to buy cattle. He also leased this place down the road and not sure what their agreement was on improvements, but he had a fence built. I'm guessing the land owner failed to tell him the fence he paid for will be wiped out after a couple floods. He probably figured the guy would see all the trees and garbage built up on the last fence and the big creek running through the place would tip him off. Not to mention all the big trees that have already and will continue to fall on new fence. He's also bought a large number of new concrete feeders, built some corrals.... Moved in some hay. Not sure how many cows he has, 30ish, but the old farts around say he's got the place overstocked so thats another problem he'll run into not to mention he'll be getting about half what he thought he would this time last year. He even lives out of town, so he cant keep a good eye on the cattle..... I'm sure he's not the only one who dove into this business because of seeing green, when the green is going to be the poop kind now. If all works out, this years big purchase will be solar panels for our house and barn. I got a new car last year...that will last me at lease 15 years.. [/QUOTE]
