Subject: RE: Stars aligned, I bought the farm next door


Glad to hear this David, my youngest son also got to experience the same thing this last week. Elderly neighbors next to me, offered their ranch to my youngest son and myself last year. We knew it was too much for us to take on the whole thing.

So it was spilt to allow my son and another young couple to start their ranching life. I'm sad that I lost a great mentor living next door to us. He always told me I was buying him out when the time came. Their kids didn't want to run it, and no other heirs that could make it work.

Like you my sons worked this fall cleaning up property so they could finish loan, same as the young couple. Tires, cars, oil barrels, etc. By securing this property my son can proceed with a irrigation project and move water diversion from Forest Service land to now his private lands.

The only way our young kids can accomplish this is with our help and equity. One thing our family has done is to keep using the family name purchased from to name those farms. We at least try to keep remembering those that preceeded us.
