I have followed the threads on here that pop up about part timers, hobby farmers and the new one that I like called the "flashlight farmer". It has confused me on my own identity ;-) Here is my situation and maybe someone can clear up what I am...
I only have 75 acres
I have less than 40 head
I raise red and black angus w/ some jersey kid projects
I do have a head gate & squeeze chute
I give my own shots etc..
I do not have a diesel truck (1994 chevy 4x4 currently)
I work a "regular" job
I have done some chores by flashlight :lol:
I do have a registered bull
I do not have registered cows
I do own a cattle trailer (bought used)
I have 1 tractor (Ford 3910)
Raise my own hay (neighbor cuts it on shares)
I pet some of my cows...others I don't
Some of my older momma cows have names....the rest have numbers
I built my own fences
I do have a barn
Cows pay for land and taxes but little profit
OK.....am I a hobby farmer, a flaslight farmer, a part-timer or a hybrid???? I am soooo confused now! :cboy:
