Cattle people

[WildRoseBeef]

Did it mention that it smells really, really, really, bad?! That may be all you need to know!

No, but it did mention "explosive diarrhea!"

Karin, you are SO literal! I bet we'd get along in person, 'cause then I could punch you in the arm and say, 'd'ya get it?' every time I thought I was being funny! (My grandsons assure me that I am NOT as funny as I think I am, so don't feel bad!)

My point was that with a solid base of 'book' knowledge like you have, your opportunities are limitless. You could opt to go into cattle big time and have a decent chance of making it. You could do what JHM does. You could chose to teach and have a small manageable herd. (I think you would just excel at your provincial version of our county extension agency). I don't have secondary education, and boy is that limiting, esp as you get older. Okay, old. Not a lot of call for 50-odd year old woman with arthritic thumbs to milk cows. And I don't think I could physically milk on the big farms for 8 to 12 hours shifts, and am totally burned out in the retail sector. I don't mean this in a poor-me way, and I love my life, but my message would be "STAY IN SCHOOL"!

As a matter of fact I'm really, really really hoping and praying that I'll be able to go back to finish up my An Sci degree this fall! But yes, I see your point about the "book knowledge" thing, and yes, I tend to get a bit too literal too.

Hey, lovinlivinlife, welcome to BYH! Do I recognize you from another forum? The sun came out here and it's getting warmer by the day

You go ahead and tell RTG if you talk to her that Karin is hinting around that she's an old bag--maybe that'll get her back!
