    That was when my half-brother's grandfather bought cattle on the cheap from farmers (I'm from Iowa) who couldn't afford to feed them. Turned them out in the pasture to eat grass. After the Depression (40s and 50s), cattle prices went up and he got rich.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
