If you won a million dollars?

This might be more suited to the other session, but I have a theoretical question.

If you won a million dollars, or two, would you stay in the cattle business or would you quit it?

I think I would quit raising cattle, but continue to harass researchers and investigate the BSE situation. And I would travel.

How about you?

If I won a million dollars I would pay down some debt and rest would have to wait. Laughing

My Dad always said that If he won a million dollars, he'd probably just keep farming until it was gone.

I'd live off the interest, and also give some to R-calf, so they could burn the other cheek! they are going to be one of the most hated groups in America, right beside PETA in the future! Was talking to a rancher in PA, (300 cows) yesterday, he didn't even know who R-calf was.

We'd use the million or two to support our bad habit...farming!

Murgen, love your sense of humor. Keep me laughing, it's helping to take the edge off the crappy day I'm having.

If I had that million Kathy, I'd have a couple hundred embyo recips bought while my wife wasn't looking, and pump them with Galloway and Welsh Black embryo's. Why would anyone ever want to quit this business???????????????????????

I would donate it all to my favorite charity........ME !

Just getting my foot really planted in this business, I could really use the million right now.

Many people wonder why I want to go into ag, or live out here in the middle of nowhere...... all I can say is if you don't understand it, then you are one less I have to compete against !

I would absolutely get back into the cattle business full time. Without hesitation. Why? Because I love raising quality cattle.

Hat: "I've got news for you, they are one of the fastest growing groups in my area. R-Calf signs are going up in businesses on main street daily. The R-Calf train is just getting warmed up buddy."

No organization will ever maintain success by lying. The PETA comparison is valid for that reason. Prey on people's emotions and the truth be damned. I'm finding more and more people are getting R-CULT figured out for the lying, deceptive organization that they are.

The truth is coming Hat!

R-CULT has seen their glory days. R-CULT has said to the nation that increased BSE surveilance, the feed ban, and SRM removal is not enough to assure that cattle under 30 months of age are safe.

R-CULT's position has been established and they will not be able to lie their way around it in the event of a domestic case of BSE. If Canada's beef is unsafe, they cannot change their position for our beef in the same situation. They've sealed their doom.
