    Thank you to all the farmers who provide me with ribeyes.  I savor every bite of that beef to honor all the sacrifices everyone made along the way.

    They say if you want to prove you’re a real farmer/cowboy, raise cattle. And if you want to make money, raise sheep.

    It is constant.....fixing fence, wormer, fly spray, vet bills, diesel, feed, water tanks, feed troughs, on and on. Thankfully the beef market is stong. That is another factor.....the market and the reason they are called live "stock"

    Cattle to feed the family, extended family and sheep for profit.

    Another informative video FTW!! You have an awesome personality and the genuine love you have for being a farmer shows. I want to eventually get back into ranching when I get enough land and you are the type of person to show me how. I’ve been looking for someone like this (where they break down costs and operation) and you do it all beautifully! Thank you again for all the amazing content and my resume is always waiting when you need those few more ranch hands! Lol

    Enjoyed your video Young Man, I had cattle back in the (70’s and 80’s) and sold them because like you said the money wasn’t there. You never mentioned that if one of the mama cows die during the (5) year period that you’ve lost your profit for a few more years.
