[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3026814, member: 40864"] Huh. Must be a local/demographic thing. Or the 1800s... :D I had a mechanic/welding shop for several years, and most of my customers were both farmers AND ranchers (a couple also raised hogs). I don't remember any that were strictly cattlemen (lol, or strictly "sodbusters"), though I'm sure there are some of each scattered around. Just never heard of any animosity between them around here. AFAIK, most all wheat/barley/rye farmers run cattle on it thru winter and spring. And sometimes (depending on market prices) it's more profitable to feed grain to livestock rather than sell it directly. Takes all kinds I guess. :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
