[QUOTE="john250, post: 350571, member: 4406"] TMay It sounds to me like your dad may be in dire need of labor. Does he have regular help? Reliable help? Things like sorting a herd, vaccinating and worming a herd, even culling a herd take either first rank facilities and a couple of men or workable facilities and 3/4 men. At 80, let's not count on dad. My dad is 81 and won't stay home, but I try to make him an extra hand and not a primary hand. He won't say so, but he appreciates that. I cannot recommend you give up a phD in biomed engineering to come home and run cows. Likely your career will take you even further from home. I'd look around the neighborhood and ask your dad who he trusts. Get references, get references, how many times can I say that? Dad might be more progressive if he was able to get the work done. Spend some on corrals--good ones. I may completely misunderstand your situation. I've been wrong before. Think about it. [/QUOTE]
