I'm probably a fairly typical cattle guy in Alberta. Have a 5 year plan, started in 2007, to be completely out of cattle.
Breaking up the last of what I can this fall. Have gone from 150 cows to 50 this year. Might calve them out one more time......or might not!
Have spent nothing on fences or facilities or equipment since 2007.
Just putting in my time until I can escape! Turned 60 this spring and took my CPP early.
I'm one of the last guys in my area with cows (east of Red Deer, Alberta) in my area. Most escaped shortly after 2003. A lot pulled the plug in 2009(drought). None of these are ever coming back.
Looking forward to spending my winters in the sun!
