[QUOTE="branDcalf, post: 383795, member: 6298"] Sorry you're having to look at your options on this. I just this spring decided enough is enough. 6 yrs. of drought. Buying water and hay last summer. Sinking two wells, where none have been needed in recorded time. But, the bottom line for me was, having to live 1600 miles away to support the place. Away from family, friends, the landscape I know and love. Living so cheaply I put myself and youngest daughter in danger. (bad neighborhood, less food than we should have been eating) I had to call it quits. I did't have a cushion, like a spouse with a decent job, or the cows or land being payed off. It's a tough one, but I'm making new plans... scaled down plans. Re-prioritizing how I want to spend my last 20 to 30 years. I'm going to be the best volunteer ranch hand/weekend warrior my neighbors know, kind of like when I first moved to my home area. [/QUOTE]
