[QUOTE="Crowderfarms, post: 254845, member: 1335"] I don't know if it's true in your neck of the woods, but around these parts, I've noticed the lack of younger folks, showing an interest in the Cattle Business. The last Cattleman's meeting I went to, I was the youngest member there, and I'm 40 something. What will happen to this business, if young folks don't see the legacy continues? Will big Agribusiness continue to take the Farmers out one by one off the "Family Farm/Ranch"? Seems we may head down the road as the Hog farmer did. I fully understand that many members of the younger generation don't want to work as hard as we have, to thrive and prosper in this world, and land values across the country have forced a lot of folks to sell out. IMHO, there is not an occupation more important in this good Ol' USA than the American Farmer/Rancher. He produces products that feed the entire world. He produces a quality product that is safe to eat, and produces it with pride. I'm always trying to teach my Kids about the value of the Family operation, and I hope they remain here for generations to come. Time will tell. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
