[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 499273, member: 694"] First off cattle management was a lot different back then didn't put near as much into them as we do today. We didn't have as good of product either, but we had cattle that could survive. If someone would have said EPD we all had that blank look on our face, or thought it stood for Ed's Poolhall and Drinks.. We feed very little hay in the winters cow had to hustle. You would look out in the pasture and say that old cow aint going to make it this winter, To your first question fist sign was easy money people were buying on credit like never before. Second sign was oil jumped to I don't know what, but gasoline went from 22 dents to 50 cents. To the best of my memory it lasted three to four years. It didn't really start coming back until the inflation slowed down, the farmer buys retail and sales wholesale. The were not many purebred breeders then like now . The foolish things I seen then was debt load, and it is worse today. You should have seen the trucks we were using and the tractors we had. The one thing I seen that worked for the commercial guys was it got down to a bare bones operation. PS That is when I sold all my horse's and haven't owned one since. I had some fine horses. [/QUOTE]
