[QUOTE="Mosho, post: 563020, member: 4267"] A wise man told me once that chasing a dream was often more fun than living the dream. Well, we chased a dream for 35 years or more and I'll have to say that dreaming was more fun than reality. Due to droughts, high fertilizer costs, lower calf prices, high hay prices and probably mistakes made due to ignorance and being a little long in the tooth, we are considering our dream properly chased and poorly lived. It is over. The cows are gone, the pastures are empty and our hearts are sad. That is life. I am thankful to have had our opportunity to make our dream come true. My husband always says his idea of heaven is black cows, green pastures and no fences to build. Sounds pretty good to me too. Will we ever have cows again? Maybe, but not electric fences. We never found the secret to keeping our cattle in with electric fences. Others in this area have the same problem. Everyone has to have a dream, so I will dream about getting my infrastructure more secure and then buying more cattle. Let's see, I'll probably be around 80 years old. Is that too old to start over again? [/QUOTE]
