That’s my retirement plan. When I turn 60, I hope to cut back on cow numbers, run just enough that I don’t have to feed much if any hay, 75-100 or so momma cows I’d say. Be the perfect life, man go check few cows here and there out his truck, hire some folks to do the small stuff, just hunt and fish rest of time. 😁😁
