I understand how you feel. I have been fighting stage 4 colorectal cancer for 2 1/2 years. I am recovering from surgery, my second try at my second surgery to remove the cancer. Before I got the cancer I worked full time and did about 4000-4500 square bales of hay myself. I am retired now .Now I have neuropathy really bad from the chemo and it really has slowed me down. Not being able to do things like I used to is really tough and I have a few projects that will probably never get done now , basically because I have fallen behind on things like building maintenance that will have to get done, so some of the other things will be sitting for too long before I could even get to them. I am hoping to get in better shape as the year goes by and do about 1000-1200 bale's of hay which is what I did the last two years, and continue renting the rest of my hay land out. I am guessing you had cancer too. I agree you have to have purpose to help to keep going but situation like ours can really change one's perspective. Don't feel bad about doing what you have to do at this point. Machinery is selling good and bringing good money. I'm not sure if scrap is high right now, but scrap will keep . Might be a good time to auction some of your better stuff and even maybe some of the scrap. Concentrate on making your life easier and less stressed , and less stuff and cutting down on the livestock sounds like a good idea to me. I always did all my own repair work and now that is harder than it used to be . I also need now glasses for some jobs and that takes getting used to as well. Good luck with your decisions.
