[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1334556, member: 24565"] Started with a 4H heifer and father had commercial cows. Still have family land and have bought some from working for SCS/NRCS for 33+ years in 5 locations in SC. Saw and fed cows for years in the dark. A better question for a young guy to ask and gather info from old guys: what did you do to waste time and money. When they tell you, do the opposite. Like an old man told me one time, "The best way to get out of trouble is to not get into it to begin with". But one thing is for sure: you had better learn to change when you see the handwriting on the wall because life throws curveballs. That 4H heifer: best that could be had because the manager of the plantation and his wife were life-long family friends with my parents. She was sterile. My brother had a better one and she would not take her calf. Learned that lesson pretty quickly: bloodlines and expensive bulls don't all make great cows. [/QUOTE]
