| Fern It fluctuates block by block 😠one street you are lucky to pay $4 a gallon, most of the time it's like $6+. I remember when I was in college it was basically $7 and I had to drive 40 minutes each way... |
| Fernweh. |
| Dom Oh that tracks. I bet it's insane :') I've heard gas in Cali has been high for so long |
| Wendigo |
| Fern I'm less than an hour south of LA 😠costs are just as bad here and they seem to get worst every year. Even gas is nutty 😠|
| Wild Runners |
| Probably shouldn't have stayed up till like 2 am last night.. Tired as shit now. |
| Fernweh. |
| Dom That is good at least, and very kind of you <3 I'll be fortunate in a similar way someday when I return to the family ranch |
| Wendigo |
| Otherwise I'd easily be paying 2k+ a month for a decent studio/one bed apartment |
| Wendigo |
| Fern Oh it's BAD here, I'm just fortunate enough that when I moved back, I moved back into my family home to take care of my dad |
| Fernweh. |
| Dom I totally get that! And that's valid too xD It's probably wildly expensive there. Cost of living here is pretty high too |
| Wendigo |
| Fern I grew up in and out of cities/suburbs. I've always hated it here but I've stayed because of family. I think once my father passes (which I hope it won't be for a LONG time) I'll probably go out and find a plot of land. Just not here in California XD |

| Winter It's definitely a lot, so thank you <3 I'm the 7th generation of my family on our ranch :) 1 bull can breed ~25 cows per year. We have around 200 mama cows, so we usually have 9 bulls, just in case somebody gets hurt. It depends on what you breed for! We breed for meat, so our bulls generally have a lot of muscle, good skeletal structure, and a calm temperament for ease of being around them. We usually only breed bulls until they're around 7 years old, whereas cows are allowed to stay as long as they are fit, healthy, and happy :) We have several cows in the herd that are currently 14 and doing great! Sometimes we keep them for ourselves to butcher and eat; other times, they're sold at an auction and they do whatever! It just depends on who buys them. Butcher is definitely most common though. Especially in old cows that are lame (limping). It's what's best for them at that point |

| Fern Dang I do love beef especially ribs now I'm hungry :D I find it so amazing the dedication it takes to keep a farm together and raise all these animals so hats off to you and your family . So how does picking a bull work do you usually keep the same bull for a while then switch ? I take it once the girlies have retired from producing babies they get shipped off to become beef burgers too xD |
| Fernweh. |
| Winter I have several cow dogs; that's one of the red heelers! Her name is Maddi <3 I love calves :D Dom Totally! I grew up rurally, so living in a big ass dorm building smack center in the city has been an adjustment and a learning moment---definitely will be living rurally forever :') |
| Fernweh. |
| Dom Yeah they learn that human settlements = food and water in a lot of places. They keep a wide berth from our houses now though, let's just say they met an American end lmao. I've lost kitties to coyotes :') Winter Omg no I LOVE teaching people about it! It's something that's so relevant to so many people's lives that's often misunderstood or mistaught :D I truly enjoy it. We do keep some females back every year; they're called replacement heifers! They have to meet a lot of specific criteria to stay though. The bull calves are neutered via banding, making them steers, and the steers and other heifers are sold each fall and shipped to Iowa for a private feedlot to be fed out to butcher :D |
