[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1483603, member: 18945"] The 'typical farmer crowd' stereoytpe is one made mostly from non-ag people's observations. No such things as 'typical' when it comes to cattle folks..every operation is different..each one unique and just because we all have a heavy interest in cattle doesn't mean we don't have strong interests elsewhere. Cattle production has so much history tied behind it it's next to impossible to become engaged in it without having quite a bit of knowledge in history, how we got where we are today and the history of where we are today and why, and all that, is intrinsically joined at the hip to all the rest of society and it's history. If one doesn't have a naturally 'curiosity' then there is very little likelihood they will ever get involved in beef or dairy production to begin with. One interest, out of necessity, Matthew, Luke and Chronicles style, begets another, and that one begets another, and then another, and there's plenty of connections to science and society outside mainstream agriculture. It's not enough to just know cattle prices change, you have to know why and how. It's the same with all ag products. We are not Oliver and Lisa Douglas. [/QUOTE]
