Please summarize your long-term goals regarding your land:

We would like to see all of our dreams and plans become a reality and to be able to pass that along to someone that would have the same passion. We are always looking at new opportunities to expand or to make our ranch more profitable. We are never satisfied with things the way they are, we are always trying to change things to improve upon them. As we get older we have more resources to utilize but our ambition is less and our backs are weaker and we would look forward to somebody young to bring back what we are lacking.
