Since something that actually took skill, intelligence and talent was way too much for you, maybe you could aim a little lower on the beverage skill chain next time.
Like, maybe Nestle's Quik.
You could relabel it Nestle's Ich.
Natural evolution of Spanky: "Big" CA place > 10 ac Whinery > 5 ac feedlot. Crashin an inheritance like that must be painful. Knowin you wasted what all your ancestors worked so hard to earn.
Keep up the good work. Six months to a year, after you're forced to sell the feedlot, you might be able to afford the lot nexta Moprick.

Thanks Toot---I'll crank out something new which will no doubt piss off the usual pissors here.
Just glad to be out of the wine business. I got into it too late in life and it was more, much more, work than I could handle.
I'm not at all ashamed to admit I lost money in the venture but I escaped with my life. The Wife and I are very pleased with our new (to us) five acre RANCH on top of a hill with a 270 degree view of nothing but nothing.---Spano

This field of alfalfa is 30 acres,6 times larger than your "ranch." Each one of those bales is $150 in the field. There is about 110-120 more acres of alfalfa that is ready to cut. This is the first cut,will have five more before this season is over. Then there is the 80-90 acres of corn silage,9 acres of cotton,and finally 40 acres of pecan trees we raise in a growing season. We will custom pick cotton for our neighbor later this year, which will be about 100 acres +/-. Your penny-ante five acres is laughable to say the least. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/20170419_062920.jpg)

But, But, But, my five acre RANCH is mine. No employees no responsibility for anything other than enjoying the view and the hot tub and the sauna. No payroll, no payments (other than property taxes), no Government licenses, fees, inspections, no worry about Red Blotch, pesticide drift, late frost, early frost, labor availability, mildew, pruning, tying, suckering, tucking and a few other everyday problems. Above all freedom do do as we please when we please.
And we have hundreds of gallons of wine we have produced to sell or use.
We are very happy to be out of the wine business and to pass it on to a younger and stronger generation. They will build upon a very strong and beautifyl foundation we have set.
Now tell me what is wrong with that?

Nothings wrong with that. 5 acres is not a ranch, that's all.
5 acres is 5 acres.

(in honor of our whippets of course) It's not a real ranch, just a ranchito.

The land you see is ours,along with about another 100 acres +/-. Labor is me,dad,my son and one other employee. Pesticide drift,easy,spray when the wind is not blowing,like in the early morning. That hay and corn silage is your cheese,milk,ice cream,yogurt and any other dairy product you eat. Also,I enjoy farming,it does get tiresome at times,but would rather farm than sit in an office all day long.

(in honor of our whippets of course) It's not a real ranch, just a ranchito. Now don't get those feelings hurt Geno. 6.89 is more than 5. So you are closer than Spanky to the ranch world. People can call their land whatever they want. Just to me 5 acres is not a ranch. No live stock, nothing to make it a ranch. A big house on 5 acres is what it is. No big deal. I happy for the man, but it still not a ranch. A ranch has hundreds of acres, cows, horses etc. It can be his ranch, but not a ranch as some look at it in this state. Maybe if he has and keeps an Agriculture exemption on taxes from raising animals can he call it a true (very very small)(wait non working) ranch.

Hey Spankie,
Think I'll go buy a Yacht.
It's going to be at least 15', with a motor. I'm going to call it the grand river yacht. Size and words don't matter anymore, except on women as far as size goes.
What do you think man. I'm going to own a 12' to 15' yacht. Words don't matter any longer, right.
Ya, I'm going to be a Yacht owner------------

Makes no diff to me
But I always thought a ranch dealt in sections not acres
Most we ever owned was 420 acres, but it was still just a farm to me
When I think ranch you ain't gonna cover it all in a day on horseback.
Ymmv
But if 5 acres qualifies my moose and squirrel ranch here in Alaska is doing great
I better go saddle up and check fences
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I used to ranch grapes. Had to round 'em up and brand (crush) them every fall.
Now with my new 5.2 acre RANCH I don't have to do that.

5.2 acres sounds more like a house lot than a ranch. Course, you probably refer to the riding mower you mow it with as your "Big Green Tractor" and belt out Kenny Chesney while you mow.
