[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1511967, member: 25884"] I meant about the "200 lb calf" running off more than the momma. I've had a few cows get right up and take off until they had a chance to get their mind straightened out; but never a calf jump up and have full functional use of their legs 3 seconds after hitting the ground... LOL. Yes the language was a bit over the top, not that it isn't heard regularly in real life, but a bit much. Story line seems to be pretty decent. As for not having all that on just a cow/cf operation.... years ago that is how so many of the ranches did make a good living. Labor was cheap, and they got BLM grazing leases, which were cheap. Not so much today though. Guess they will just import all the beef once they price us out of existence. Horses were cheap but had to be maintained year round where as the 4 wheelers can just be parked. Many places have gone to planes and helicopters, and all that is a part of "doing business". But there was a time that big ranches were profitable, and the owners lived big too. Lots of history on things like that. A person could work hard and with a little luck, could get ahead. Today, not so much without something else to get you there financially, first. [/QUOTE]
