[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 430523, member: 2324"] What about seedstock producers? They sell animals by the head. I don't think Gardiner or Stevenson would be considered hobby ranchers. I think the only definition that would work for all situations is someone who doesn't sell any commodity, calves, seedstock, beef, etc. Those people I would call true hobby farmer/ranchers. I know people running 500 momma cows who still have to work an outside job to pay the bills. I also know people with a handfull of cows, who do extensive flushing, and that's their only source of income. I don't think quantity of cattle or outside employment determines whether people are a hobbyist. I think the hobby farmer/rancher label is thrown around too freely as a knock by the old timers.
