Welcome to Farmers for the Future!

Jeff,The best thing about the cattle business is that there are so many ways to BE in the business. I know producers that have only 5 or ten acres but contribute by purchasing small calves,put some weight on them and sell them as feeders. All the while,contributing to there county Cattleman's Association and every bit as serious as a producer that owns a section of land and a couple hundred head.These producers have the same amount of enthusiasm.Also the guy that buys heifers and keeps them until they are breeding age or maybe ready to calve for the first time. I have a cousin that buys young cows heavy with calf in the spring and grazes them to keep his place clean then sells them as pairs in the fall.He produces alot of beef and never feeds a bale of hay.I think the more people are educated in the different ways to be involved in the busuness the greater the attraction will be.Cattlemen and Cattlewomen are both independant and spirited enough to keep the cattle business going regardless of obstacles. They are turned into oppurtunities. Great to be here...Rick

We were very blessed to not have any damage at our farm or home.  But Tuscaloosa has been hard hit and we have been helping out with the relief there.
