[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1687733, member: 39695"] A lot of the mid West cattle guys row crop also. They run cows on the small % of their farm that can't be farmed. So it isn't just the cows paying for it. For the rest of us that count on cattle to pay the bills; 20years ago if I blew a hydraulic hose on my feed tractor on thanksgiving morning I could have called our implement dealer at home and someone would have met me at the store so we could get the cattle fed. Now they close from Wednesday - Sunday for thanksgiving, the whole week between Christmas and New years, and from Thursday through Sunday for Easter. Most of the livestock feeders are gone now, and the implement dealership has forgotten that livestock is what carried them through the 80's. New tractors hopefully tend to break down less. It's the cost we pay for not having service when we're in a jam. [/QUOTE]
