[QUOTE="herofan, post: 933744, member: 17843"] So, it appears that some feel that you don't make much money with cattle, and if you think you do ok, you are wrong. My grandfather must have been cheating. He passed away in the 80s, but he ran cattle on this farm for 50 years and not only made a living, but apparently made good money, I would go as far as to say they were fairly wealthy by the 70s. Neither he nor my grandmother worked public work. They were very frugal and didn't spend much. He bought a Ferguson tractor and a few pieces of equipment in the 50s and retained those the rest of his life. I can think of several old farmers from that generation who were known to have a lot of money and never did anything but farm. Have times now changed to the point one can't make anything? [/QUOTE]
