[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 518269, member: 5917"] gerard what I was talking about was that miserable 1% that makes all of us look bad. I was NOT lumping you in that 1%. If you raise and care for your animals well and even better then the guys who have alot of animals then good for you. Be proud of what you do even if it is a hobby for you. Ok to address the tension. When you meet someone and tell them that you raise cattle you are now representing the entire cattle industry. Now if these people, who do not know anything about raising cattle, come to your place to visit and see well fed cattle and a great place they "see" the cattle industry. Now if theses same people visit another persons place where the cattle have no grass are thin and look terrible then they "see" the cattle industry. We are all lumped together no matter how we differ in the care of our animals. Now onto the working facilities. It is always good to have facilities that work for you and you can afford. Not alot of us can afford a brand new $6000.00 hydraulic sqeeze chute, but can buy a used head catch and make it work on an older squeeze. [/QUOTE]
