[QUOTE="Twin G, post: 1826482, member: 43431"] Howdy, This is going to be way to long of an introduction, but I thought there may be more guys like me out there. Trying to raise cattle remotely. New member from Graham Texas. My entire life my dream has been to be a cattle rancher, but that isn't the direction life led me. I am 47 years old. I went to Texas A&M and found myself in a corporate job hating life. I managed to break free from that cage and have been self employed working from home for over 15 years. With a little luck I bought 140 acres a few years ago two hours west of my home in Denton. With my dads help we built a 1 room bunkhouse with shop attached, brought electricity and water run onto the property, set up cattle pens, bought an old stock trailer and tractor. About 2 years ago I finally bought my own cows. 6 bred cows and a bull. I also have 15 goats. I recently sold my first set of calves and have a few new ones now. My goal now is to grow the operation. Find some lease land. The kicker is, I have done all of this driving back and forth from my house. With my wife's job we aren't able to move just yet. Until that day comes I am managing to run a cattle operation 2 hours away. Working from home has made it work pretty well. Not ideal and certainly adds a lot of obstacles, but I am living my dream. Looking forward to getting to know y'all. [/QUOTE]
