[QUOTE="jgn, post: 76291, member: 128"] I'll try to make this short as possible, I'm in halves on a herd with my father inlaw. His land, and equipment, I provide majority of the labor and pay half the upkeep of the equipment and half of the supplies, terms we agreed to,we split all money 50/50. We seem to kinda of disagree on how a something should be done. I put our calfs in a lot to wean at 6 months of age, steers stay there till ready to sell and the heifers since we're keeping them to build up the herd I keep in till I think they're an adequate size for breeding. In this lies the problem, hes old in his ways and thinks the cow will always wean them without intervention or 2 weeks of being put up and they're weaned and ready to go back into the herd. Several times I just finally got tired of being asked why those calves are still in the lot and went ahead and turned them out after a few weeks and low and behold there are always the ones that go right back to nursing. I'll put them back up and same old questions come up again. I'm trying to do things the right way (I think) but I guess he doesn't see it this way. Since I know he doesn't really care wether he has any cattle or not I'm seriously considering just telling him I'm ready to get out and sell off the herd. This has always been a dream of mine and is a really hard decision but I really don't see much of another way as I don't want to do it if I have to do it half a--. Any advice? Sorry so long of a post. [/QUOTE]
