[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 7506378, member: 198"] I used to have a business that involved a lot of desk work and a lot of driving. I was regularly at the osteopath for back problems. Since coming back to practical farming and selling that business I have never had so little backache and I've just turned 63. I firmly believe you use it or lose it. The conundrum I have at the moment is about longer term investment. For example most of our cattle buildings are old, inefficient and in need of a major revamp. We've just learnt they are going to be compulsorily purchased in the next couple of years. If I was 20 years younger I wouldn't hesitate to put up a really good cattle shed with the compensation, but now?? Alternative is to sell most of the cows and keep more sheep. No family interested in following on [/QUOTE]
