| Lol, haven't had time to read all the posts. But a 2900 acres ranch in Montana is just a garden for the wife. It would have to be around 32,000 acres to make a living. This would be a one man operation with day help when needed, like branding (or exchange help with neighbors). Fall riding you would need extra help, and maybe haying. The rest is a steady job and done with one man.

| Maybe I should have started another thread, since the initial topic is old news.

| A novel about your experiences as you learn might be a pretty good read.
