[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1377025, member: 24583"] I've said it myself and seen it no telling how many times right here on CT regarding the cow business, mainly the cow/calf business ........ "can't do it with out off farm income" or "requires off farm income" or something similar. Most of us have not only said this but proved it by living it. So here's the question(s). Is this because our modern standard of living is too high on the hog for the most part? *or* Is it because of a changing of the times such as global markets, electronic traders, inflation, inputs, etc? Either way if I really take time and think about it a little, it makes me kinda sad. I sure would love for my boys to be able to continue to experience both the good and bad experiences that go with the farming/cattle/country lifestyle if they choose as they grow older. Lots of life lessons to be learned and keeps you busy and out of trouble. [/QUOTE]
