The Finney owner's twins cheer with my daughters. My wife and oldest were at their house a few weeks ago. It's safe to say they appreciate your guys' business. Lol!
A true sign of a baller is a fleet of water trucks. Big $$$$$$
I hear you. The 4 guys I just laid off, I had spent a fair amount of money and time and effort training them. Not in the trade, but to understand how important safety and quality are to me. Yes, the got some trade skill sets. But mostly I first train that it’s OK to not know everything, and there was another guy, with a drug problem who robbed me for about $8k in tools.
I think you are making the right move in my opinion. These prices are not sustainable, we are getting paid 650.00 for day old Holstein/Angus steer then add 3.64 a day feed cost for 130 days your at 1130.00 for a 330-350lb animal. Highest price in history!!
And with high input costs, anyone that thinks we’re making big money is out of touch- even with these crazy high prices on the back end.
Are you guys set up for breading your own calf's? Could alwasy keep the ones you want to raise and sell out the others.
Cow/calf operations are a whole different world, requiring an entirely different infrastructure and crew. Most are generational, covering tens of thousands of acres. I like my side of the fence

I get it... My uncle did it in TX, very small (15 acres) and he worked for me full time travelling the US.Cow/calf operations are a whole different world, requiring an entirely different infrastructure and crew. Most are generational, covering tens of thousands of acres. I like my side of the fence
Good people!
Powersports industry is feeling the slowdown big time. We are a large manufacture in business for 53 years and supply dealers nationwide. Our holiday sales thus far along with our dealers is down between 20-25% from last year. Many of these dealers also sell online through their websites and 3rd party platforms which is also taking a hit. Some of this is related to the industry/dealers having a major inventory overstock issue from the COVID buying frenzy.
I'm flat killing it. I sell on eBay and through my website, as well as a lot of direct B2B sales. I haven't had a break in the last month. I added about 350 new kits on eBay in the last 3 months, and my sales have almost doubled...just on eBay I've sold over $50K in the last 90 days. Website is a bit slower, B2B is a bit higher. Been ordering real heavy on inventory because I can and I hate running out of shit.
That’s because a lot of business need to spend money at the end of the year for taxes.
These are all homeowners. I only do residential work unless it's for a repeat customer. I think most were price shopping.
For sure, but how many business owners are paying for the work through their business?
None.
are up. No one wants their floors/house tore up.
Yup. Commercial flooring here-Flooring industry is slowwwwww. Now Christmas
RDP membership fees?Busier than shit, but not making any dinero.. lol. Working on changing that right now..
I have to ask, how is this even a thing anymore? Post COVID- how are people still able to sit on their ass and not wanting to work??
For sure....Insurance industry in CA is still a disaster. Would not be surprised to see a big named carrier filing BK by next year, if not a few
Sounds like you’re still hustlin though.
