That sounds like me in calving season dad to old to get up every 3 hours and check cows and our farmhand is a good worker but not the brightest so its 7 days a week for two months to the barn every 3 hours

I am still raising cattle but only 3-7 at a time, my "day job" gives me lots of customers so it is easy to move the meat when I am ready. Mostly Hereford and Angus but it depends on what is available.
