[QUOTE="IGotMyWings, post: 836864, member: 8639"] When I was a kid, I worked with my uncle and cousin farming a little over 500 tillable acres and a handful of cattle. I had envisioned myself taking my uncle's place when he retired, but that didn't pan out. A few years later, I worked for another farmer out here with about the same number of acres, but he had hogs. A few years after that, the planets aligned for us and my wife and I bought a small farm. We cash rented the ground for a few years, then out of nowhere, my brother-in-law tells me about a whiz-bang deal on a bull calf. Well, that was the cattle-yst I needed, so we told the brothers who had been farming our ground that after the beans were out, fences were going up. I'm still small in the business, but I have a niche market and a loyal customer base. I'm not getting rich, but I'm involved in agriculture which is where my heart and soul have always wanted to be.
