That applies to the cattle bizness too..... any body that has seen big iron stacked in the grass knows about the oilfield, but I've had the displeasure of seeing good fats go for 50-75ยข/lb too.
The old adage goes..
You aren't Texan till you lost your ass in cows or oil and you aren't a Real Texan until you've lost it in both.
Like my Father before me, I'm a real Texan but I bounced back, for the most part.
(I don't think my father really ever got over losing his herd to FMD tho. I'm glad I wasn't old enough to see it up close.)
