 I grew up here on this farm and until I went into the Navy, I got drafted and I went to Little Rock with a bunch of other boys. I got my commission through ROTC at the University of Arkansas as a second lieutenant and so I went in. I got to go into the navigation school from there and I made it. That's my final hitch. So I got 22 year service total Korean War and Vietnamese War. Of course I was in World War II. My uncle was the he run some cattle on my farm before I retired and I joined him Farm Bureau before I retired about a year before you know when I got out of the Air Force when I retired off to over 66 why I started going to the meetings and he made me a board member. I didn't know just the regular member was supposed to go to the meetings you know and so I started doing and they made me a board member right there. Well in the later part I got a chance to buy my dad's land and they landed wrong to his brother and I bought that and it just looked like a pretty good way to retire so I yeah I wanted I had to I had the start of cattle redshirt cattle purchased before I retired. I came back went to Missouri bought the redshirt Vegas cattle and then I had some of them on hand on the start So I raised redshirt Vegas cattle for a long while and then I finally got the tar to read all the paperwork and all that stuff so I ended up I ended up just crossbreeding you know. No I just this cattle's all I ever dealt with they tried to get me to go into the dairy business and tried to get me to build chicken houses and I thought cattle I wanted to have a little time off you know and I raised cattle till I got to be 90 and I sold my cattle to GM my stepson Jim McFarland
