[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1788955, member: 42731"] I see what you mean. Goodness, those programs need to be more prolific in many areas. I don't know how many could even stick to ag if they got into it anyway. My younger sister (huge age gap, but mama says she was the only planned one, you tell me) wanted to get back into ag a few years ago. She was early teens or so. Mom stood her the money, some friends helped with the little bit of labor, and I stood her the help and advice whenever I could make it around to do so. She got a bunch (but not too many) of chickens and a chicken tractor, a big passel of ducks with a movable setup, a movable rabbit setup and a primo horse pulled off a cow spread over in Georgia. Well, she really took to it for a month or three, then she wouldn't reliably feed and water her stuff unless pressed into it, if I was around I just did it for her, she didn't reliably collect eggs half the time, somebody else had to shoot stray dogs if they got into her stuff, somebody else had to move her chicken tractor half the time. The horse had been used to working more than being penned and had a bunch of energy so she was soon half buffaloed by him even though he was just pent up. I rode him and worked with him many times and he was just fine under a firm hand and if you actually let him do something more than walk. A couple of her "cowgirl" (barrel racers) friends got on him and came at him wrong and got pitched and suddenly nobody would get on him except for me when I was around but I couldn't take him so he got sold. She owns two animals now, a fat dog and a blue duck. [/QUOTE]
