This is from the bb discussion I have been following at:
http://forums.horsecity.com
Bulletin Board: ranchers or cowboy forums?? about the downsizing of ranches into "ranchett's."
One lady discusses her parents 500,000 acre spread:
"We are to date the largest contiguous ranch in the state. Not for long if the Federal Land Swap Deal makes it through Congress. Which I have an idea it probably will, then my dad will have the original ranchhouse and the property he keeps there, and becomes a developer in his old age in the parcels they are offering to swap. I hope he and mom have a grand time and spend it all!!!"
And this guy writes:Everything around me is getting developed , and many ranches and dairies around have been turned into asphalt and steel . I would rather have a nice big , operational ranch , than see it turn into houses or be taken over by government . One of the best things I have heard was in a cattle meeting , and one of the guys said "
Rumplestilskin went to sleep in the early '80's , and woke up in 2050 . There were guys out in the middle of the street with jack hammers & picks chipping away at the concrete & asphalt . Rumplestilskin walked up to them and asked what they were doing , they said mining , he asked what they were mining for . They said , dirt .."
Raised in suburbia, I've always had the fever to "Go West," but here I am still in Ohio... I did get some horses though! Be prepared to find entries with long athropomorphic ramblings about what my horses are doing and thinking, and the crazy things they have me doing to keep them in my life--Oh yeah, there's some other junk here too.
