I have pretty much just been a reader of Ranchers.Net. I am proud to be a rancher and to be given the opportunity to care for some of God's land and cattle. I enjoy, very much, the ranchers discussions on how they care for their cattle, put up their hay, teach their children good, solid ranch values and help each other and their communities. These people, in my opinion, are the salt of the earth and are what made America the great country it is. What I do not understand is why a few folks who know little or nothing of the ranching business wish to join this site and create controversy and bad feelings.
