You must enjoy moving, you've done a lot since "retiring". I truly wish you all the best in your new place and please make sure you're shooting lead free ammo if your rounds don't remain on the ranch. I really worry about eagles, condors and buzzards. 😉

In your case ranch is spelled = YARD Yard you say? Hell my people take care of my yard and I pay them well for it.

I really worry about eagles, condors and buzzards. 😉 Not to worry, never shot an eagle, condor, or buzzy. Shot many antennae but they are now close to extinct. I have some huge ones hanging in my trophy room. Let me know if you spot one I'll be there as soon as I can get my private jet in the air.

Lol. Bluetooth will be the end of antenna hunting but at least you got yours done while still legal. 👍
Enjoy this new chapter in life.

Well on Monday we will be downsizing from our 17.5 acre ranch to our 5.2 acre ranch.
Now, previously I owned a 225 acre ranch in California and before that I owned a 360 acre ranch in California. Both of those I sold at a huge profit.
This last ranch I sold I took a loss on just so you can all rejoice.
Happy trails to all.
We were farming 1100 acres for about 14-15 years,from the early 90's through to 2007. Now we are farming about 300 +/- acres. You are still small potatoes. 5.2 acre ranch....

The woman who bought this place has a 7,000 acre cattle ranch and several rice farms in CA.
She paid a fair price and I got out. What's wrong with that?

Nothing wrong with it. But thinking your measly 5.2 acre lot is big stuff that's what's funny.
Kinda funny also,that you have to mention how many acres she owns,still trying to one up everyone else.

Haven't you heard it's a 5.2 acre RANCH? Why can't you understand that simple fact? Maybe you are retarded?

This has been one long fücking goodbye. A 5.2 acre ranch is an architectural style. ![[Linked Image]](http://a67.tinypic.com/2zsz9yc.jpg)

Whats with the all caps "RANCH".
I dont get it.
I own a "ranch". Obviously you own a very small "ranch". Don't be ashamed, I know a lot of people who have small things. Oh, sorry. I meant to say I own a RAN......no, wait. Its pretty ghey to do the all caps thing. I guess I shall have to be content with my several thousand acre "ranch".
I am MAGA.

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) All that crap goin' on, how in the hell do you find time to shoot bunnies and post pics of fridge girls?  Geno PS, I told my wife I'm going to do the ranch gate thing on our 6.89 acre place (can I call it 7?) with a sign naming it El Ranchito de los Perros Flaccos. (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.  So, with some things going on I'm thinking of retiring, to our 6.9 acre place. The wife says my dog will be happy to have me around and I can raise bees, chickens, and goats. Goats are livestock, right? I may even go big and get me a sheep and a calf! By golly, I've got me a ranch in the makin'. Maybe I can talks the permit holder on the BLM land out back to let me use up a couple AUM's and I'll be big time! Geno PS, I'm hoping to not have to work as hard as you do farmin'. What's the point of retiring if I do? PPS, grape ranch? really?

My buddy has a turnip ranch.
The turnips are free range, cage free type.
No growth hormones, no antibiotics ever.
Plus, he doesn't mind if you drop by and poach a couple for dinner.

5.2, 17.5
It doesn't matter he prolly still gets lost on it
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.

Hay Spanky,
If we all promise to call your feedlot a "ranch", in the future, when you're no longer here, will you uphold the *goodbye* portion of your promise?
