I have a young farmer at home. Our oldest son stayed in the business, and I wish he hadn't. He's in the purebred Red Angus business. He works two jobs to keep the farm going. In 2003, his future plan was to no longer be working at his job and strictly be working with his cows. But the situation didn't allow for that.
In our area, all the kids are gone. They don't want to get into farming—not in livestock. Some are coming back for grain farming, but as far as livestock is concerned, we call it child abuse.
