I enjoy reading someone’s business plan with cattle ranching and farming. Dealing with weather will destroy the best of the business plans. Then you have to deal with did they conceive or not and didn’t you lose a cow this year. Droughts and those loses are never included in the business plans. But it is always something enjoyable to do. Lot of work for a little bit of extra money

This is why ranching sucks.

Don’t get frustrated. It’s your dad and mom and the are getting old. Take a step back and try to enjoy them while you have them
Thanks for reading that long post. This thread evolved from ranching frustrations to family frustrations. Maybe it will help someone else, going through something similar.
Us old guys have some knowledge. TBH let's us spread it.

I guess my 10 acres is considered a ranchette.
75 acres of dedicated hay fields are just part of what we run.
Your ten acres is not a ranchette, it is just GHEY, like you.Last edited by planomustang; 08-20-2021, 11:09 PM.

Your dad sounds exactly like my father-in-law with the hoarding and stubbornness. He is 76 and isn't moving as fast as he thinks he can. He got ran over in a corral when we were working cattle this summer and nearly trampled while he was knocked out. Luckily I was able to drag him to the chute before getting stomped and he only ended up getting a shattered collarbone. When you ranch and run cattle all your life I reckon it's hard to admit you really can't do it anymore.
