There wasn't a couple of fences on it, but no barns, no water, no electricity.

Just started from scratch.

We started out running mama cows.

I mean, like everybody does, hey, we're going to buy a bunch of cows and turn them out and make some money.

About a year and a half into that, it's like, this is not making any money.

You know, we're kind of breaking even, just spinning our wheels.

You know, by the time you fertilized and weed killed and did all your stuff, you'd sell a few calves.

It's like, man, it just ain't making us any money.

So I said, well, I'm going to turn this around.

I'm background in cattle out here.

We're buying and selling cattle.

you know, stocker calves.

Well, I can do that.

I'm doing it for a living over here.

I want to just make the money myself over here.

So I went to one of our order buyers at the time and said, hey, would you charge me to buy a load of steers?

He said, oh, man, you can't make no money doing that.

I'm not going to buy you any steers.

I'm like.

Well, in all due respect, I didn't ask you if I'd make any money.
