My aunt passed away last year and the place got sold to the Mennonites,so I didn't have that place this year after working it for 43 years. The plan was not to breed any heifers this year,but still cull about the same as always and cut back to around 60 mama cows from 75 or so. I got a letter Thursday from the son of another land lord on a place I've been working for 40. He said my current lease expires at the end of the year and they don't plan to renew it. He's trying to be a big shot real estate agent and has talked his mother in to selling the tillable ground so he can collect the commission. I started renting that place from his great grandmother. Apparently after so many generations,all this land is to people is a pot of money.

I guess I'll cull to 50. Everything will be alright this year,but getting enough feed next year to finish out all of this years calves might make it tight if the weather doesn't cooperate.

I can get my Medicare in two years and my full Social Security in three,so I'm not concerned with starving. I'm just glad I'm not any younger. If I was,this could be a big problem. I've still go a few places rented. I've always had a goal of someday getting down to just working my own ground and still doing alright. Looks like that day's coming sooner rather than later.
