My Last Roundup
Well I am finally out of the cattle business as of Jan 27, 2025. First time in about 120 years that there have been no cattle on the farm. I will miss them but its a relief not to have to chores in the miserable winter we get sometimes. Not to have to worry about them breaking out of the fences into neighbour's crops. Prices are about the best they have been historically so that helps too.

Blogger makes it way too difficult to post the actual youtube video from my channel here but you can see it on the Roosty6 channel under title My Last Roundup.

Thanks Dave .. So far so good.
DeleteFor withdrawal pains You can always hang out at the livestock auction. Just keep your head straight and your hands in your pocket.
ReplyDeleteSay it ain't so! I keep considering getting back into cattle. But then there is fence building and barn cleaning and vaccinations and feeding twice a day and escaping cows. Hmm, good decision!
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the price I got for the cattle I'm thinkng I should have stayed in it. But seriously a good time to sell. Not sure how people can afford to buy beef at these prices.
DeleteNot having ever had cattle I look at our fenced pasture and buildings and think a half dozen would be nice. Then I realize there comes an age when a few gates should be left open. Sounds like a logical move.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I've encouraged Farmbeau to step out of the cattle biz for years already, to free up his winters and avoid having to work in frigid cold. He's getting there. He loves his cattle, too, and doesnt feel good about where they're going when sold. That alone is, for me, enough reason to leave that kind of business behind.
