I think that Bruce and I are close in terms of topic but approaching it from different directions. Most of the fancy guys around here had the DHIA FOR THE WHOLE HERD to back up what they were doing with the breeding. The guys that had different herds for bragging purposes were at least honest about it when asked. The bottom line was they had the milk to ship. Also, the bottom line was they were not complete business people and that is what sunk most of them. The 100,000 dollar cow farmer was good in a lot of respects but sure gave little thought to the day when his siblings came calling for their share of the homestead after his mother passed. That 100,000 dollars would have bought a good life insurance policy for mom or been a huge payment towards buying his siblings' share out. Most cow guys look at running and maintaining equipment as beneath them. No surprise that they were running very large parts and repair bills at the dealerships. I can still remember the talk around campus (I was at college for the darkest part of the very grim 1980's) when Farm Credit was running for cover from bad loans and cutting these guys off in some cases for the most basics such as manure spreaders.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
