You got to love them

[Wewild]

I love cattle. They pay their bills. I like studing on how to make it better.

I very rarely catch a case of the a$$ toward them. If I have to get up in the middle of the night to get them off the road, well then maybe I should have done a better job.

Just another perspective.

For the most part, I don't find them to be troublesome. If you got grass and fences, they just don't seem to go anywhere.

Good post, and thank you!

Not just cattle, but I've never understood it when people complain about what they do for a living. If you don't like it, do something else.

I can't argue with that logic!

Yes but see thats just the problem. Got fences, but haven't had any grass for the last six years.

:lol: It's great to know that so many people have the same thoughts through out the cattle industry. Too many times I have heard grumbling about how much work that cattle can be. Yes, it is drudgery but that comes with any job.........so, hurrah for the person that said "if you don't like your job find another one!" You've got to really love cattle to work with them 24/7.

I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life, as such as being a mother and a farmers wife. When you get done with the something hard to do their's something else harder and more challenging to do. I love it all, the good days with bad, because you still keep learning and challenging yourself with the bad days. I think it is safe to say that I will never stop being the wife of my farmer until I die.

We just went through a terrible drought and everyday I worried about them walking to town or something. But they never did. I guess they were smart enough to know the grass wasn't greener on the otherside of the fence - which it wasn't.

Good for you! I would give anything to have just a few. If that ever comes to pass, I promise to love them unconditionally. ;-)

I've sold out and officailly retired from the business a number of times. I always end up with more cows. Can;t imagine what it would be without the sometimes accursed beasts.

That my friend is what makes a great cattleman. Someone that takes responsibility for what happens and don't try to place the blame elseware. It a person accepts the blame he/she will find a way to stop it from happening again.
