Hey IL,

I grew up a loggers son and dad was a part time cattle rancher.. My gramps was a bigger cattle rancher and my uncle in Montana is a huge cattle rancher..I think he owns about 75,000 acres..and has thousands of critters...something crazy like that!!!!! anyway, all that to say... I spent my younger years..feeding, branding and all that stuff. We had a very small ma and pa...dad and mom..operation.. 25 head..a year.. on 50 acres.. we would buy in the spring and sell in the fall..steers..I enjoyed the cattle and learned a lot of respect for that line of work..Hats off to you..
