I was approximately 30. Farmed part time for a good while before taking on the whole farming thing.
I'm female and think women can be alot better handling animals. My animals are all quiet, my father always had a few lunatics, and my grandfather before that.
Have 2 daughters, will probably be the youngest who will get the whole kit and caboodle as the other one won't get her hands dirty. Young one wants to go to Ag College and she comes out and helps even when the job is unpleasant - she is 11, plenty of time to change her mind otherwise.
Other idea will be to put the whole lot under trees.
Does that answer most of your questions?
