[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1777736, member: 18945"] The reason I went into the military was because dad and I had very different ideas about raising cattle. I wanted open pastures with good grass and lots of crossfences and he insisted on running them in the woods. He wasn't gonna clear the place of brush or have trees cut. I suggested he let me take a 1/3rd of the place and try what I thought would work and he said absolutely not! 'What did I know at 18?' Well, not much but I knew I didn't want to gather rangy kill-ya-in-a minute cows in this kind of mess that our 124 acres was for the next 10 years. [ATTACH type="full" alt="216 Cattle .jpg"]23901[/ATTACH] All I wanted was a chance to pass or fail and a little guidance in the right direction but that wasn't to be for a long time to come. I said to heck with it, forged his name on the permission slip at 17 and tried to enlist but got caught at it and had to wait until I graduated high school. [/QUOTE]
