On the search for a few head of cows to fill my pastures back up after some culling, I stopped by the local stockyards the other day. I found out that some nice young cows are less than a mile from me, which is good news. I go talk to the owner, hoping to swing some pasture along with the cattle, around 120 acres with thick fescue, a couple good ponds, and nice fence. No problem on the cattle, but his nephew is going to farm it, no more pasture. Although it's not Eastern Kentucky, there are some pretty good grades and a lot of odd shaped fields to the property. Now I believe the man who pays the taxes should do with it what he wants, but it's disappointing as a "younger" (42 years old) man trying to make it in the cattle business in these parts. It's hard to run cattle with no grass in sight.
