Trust me when I say, y'all don't know debt like farm debt. It is absurd, and amazing that anyone can ever manage to stay afloat.

I know more about cattle farming than I ever thought I needed to know due to The Pioneer Woman. I love that site. They also just went through all the rounding up and shipping off to sell.

@sassyredhead: Not to snark, because I also love PW, but she and her husband and his family are actually really wealthy, and own one of the largest ranching operations in the country. They sell their cattle every year as part of their operation. The family in the above picture are selling what may actually be dairy cows in order to pay off debt.
