Been to auctions where the folks are older and moving to town or just selling the cattle. Frequently they've got newer tractors and equipment, but usually there is something older sitting around, too.
Then I've been to auctions where EVERYTHING is newer, including the house. Folks who moved to the country and tried the farming lifestyle, only to discover too late that it is a business as well. Kind of sad, really, watching someone else's hopes and dreams being auctioned off to the highest bidder, but still bringing much less than they paid for it.
I used to have a customer I did work for. He bought and ran a cattle farm for several years. Eventually he sold it and went back to doing what he did to make his fortune in the first place. He was a pretty shrewd guy and I'm sure he didn't lose too much on the equipment, and probably made money on the real estate.
Anyway, those are just my experiences, for what it's worth.
