[QUOTE="EIEIO, post: 200188, member: 1947"] Dave, I can't figure out how to just pull a piece from what someone wrote but your 9 out of 10 times rule is not right. You may think your sitting next to CB or Stocky at the sale barn but from what you have written I don't know about that. 16 years old, heading to the sale barn, buying your cattle on your own also sounds sounds a bit off to me as well. Had you already bought your own ranch, truck, trailer, and gained the knowledge of cattle at that time as well or did someone else in your family have all that? Now don't get me wrong I've got a few friends that started out young that are still going strong but NONE of them did it on their own. If it were not for their dad or grandpa they would not be where they are today. If you did what you said you did my hat is off to you. Not trying to "stir the pot" but any 16 yo. kid I've ever known at the sale barn with a pocket full of cash either had a dad or grandpa showing him the way and it was not a big deal if they made a bad decision cause they had big enough money to absorb the mistakes. Again, sorry if this sounds like a jab at you but if you made yourself into a rancher at 16 and are still going strong I get to hold up one finger as your the only one I've ever known to do it. Anybody else out there willing to say they became full time serious ranchers/buyers with NO help from anyone? Dave, again I may be reading more into what you have written than what you meant and I'll be the first to say sorry if that is true but telling some guy on a beginners board that even at 16 you were able to go out and buy good cattle at a salebarn just don't sound right and I hope the origional poster to this thread don't take your advise, JMHO.
