[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 1592722, member: 3972"] I understand, gizmom! I turned 68 this year. I separated ribs working cattle 2 years ago, then did it again earlier this year. And I went through radiation treatment for prostrate cancer last year. Basically, it's been 3 years of one thing after another, healthwise. The latest was an auto accident(not my fault)back in April. I still hated to cut back, but fate stepped in and made the decision for me as the 1200 acres that I have leased for over a decade has sold to new owners. I had to vacate it last month. I guess I knew the time had come, for me, because I did not even attempt to find another lease place to replace it. My goal when I started back into cattle 17 years ago was to get to 200 mother cows. With droughts and other circumstances, I only made it to just short of 100 at the peak. I am down to 30 now and I am faced with selling a dozen more to get to where I need to be for the land that I own. It is going to be really hard to choose which ones that I let go. [/QUOTE]
