Gary, I was where where you now back in the summer of 97. At the tail-end of the draught that started 18 months prior. There comes a point when all you have done just isn't enough. After a lot of Prayer, Tears, and Sleepless nights the decision was made to sell out. In the end, pasture rent,ever increasing, the 18 months of NO rain,,,,No new grass, water shortages, and all, overall cost of D.O.B. with PCA. Initial purchase of cattle etc., etc,. All worked together to the same end, selling apart of something that I loved to do, and Identified me as Me!. I am glad I did what I needed to do, Got out from under a ton of debt, It gave me the time to do other things more important like, time to be Dad! You can still sell those cows...for now, God will still be making Good Cows, in the future if you decided to get back in. For now you can rebuild fences, improve your place so when the times comes to get back in your holding facilities will be one less thing to worry about. You might decided to look at a different livestock to raise like, Yearling cattle on winter wheat & corn stalks Buy in the summer, hold them till Feb or March then sell. So there is no permanent livestock on the place, but income is still constant in your operation. OR You could channge to Goats or Sheep. OBTW a Mama goat won't head hunt you when you get too close to their baby, like a waspy cow will!!! So Gary it isn't the end of the world, thought it might seem so for now. Take care, I will; pray for you and your at this time to help make the right decision the Lord would want for you. Later, John A.
