[QUOTE="jrv, post: 846407, member: 16770"] Hi all. I'm a registered lurker who never posts. I belong to a couple other forums which I do post a lot to but I just enjoy reading and learning from real situations that can arise around cattle/farm on here. I grew up on a beef(Shorthorn) farm in Ontario, Canada and left the farm to do other things but I have come back to it and have found that I have forgotten a lot! So lurking on here has helped me relearn things that I have forgotten. I just have a small herd of Dexters and sometimes it is intimidating with all the large cattle breeds here that do this for a living. I have very healthy cattle (knock on wood) so I haven't had a real reason to post. I have a couple of first time heifers that will be calving next spring so I am doing my reasearch now!! I direct market my beef(bought weaned calves to raise) to the locals and sell veggies. It doesn't make us enough to keep both of us at home but it keeps me at home so that the kids are not raised by other people and I am not shelling out a fortune on daycare costs. We enjoy being able to sustain ourselves on our farm and not depending on others for our food. Hope this helps as to why we lurkers lurk :)! Jacinda [/QUOTE]
