Interesting. Not here yet but probably coming with the new digital dollar crap. I believe the threshold amount has dropped to 5 grand reportable instead of 10. The reason they are doing that is because they want to put their dirty fingers in your personal financial business and no other reason and I always try to circumvent that if possible. Like I said, when I pulled the wad of c-notes and 50's out of my pocket, the car drummer almost wet his drawers. 50 in cash is a pretty big wad. Should have gotten 500 buck notes but my bank would have had to get them so c-notes was what it was..
Good deal, I didn't have that option so my 'herd' kept getting larger to the point where I liquidated everything a couple years back (when meat prices were high and the dollar was actually worth something). My wife raised and bred Percheron Draft horses too. When the last old nag died, that was the end of that too. Only inhabitants of the barns now (I have 2 big ones plus the Clearspan building I keep my equipment plus the RV in) are empty of any livestock and are now inhabited by wood chucks and racoons which I shoot all the time from the back deck with my 17HMR Savage and then toss on the burn pile and cremate them when I roast it. They keep me in practice for my fall hunting adventures. I shoot coyotes as well (open season here on them, anytime, no hunting license required, but I drill them with a 22-250 Savage with an ATN night vision optic mounted as they tend to be night predators.
I thought we would need/want beef but after processing a few of our lambs I found i prefer real meat lamb (dorper/katahdin) to beef. I really dont miss beef at all so the calf will most likely be sold to him. We also dont have a lot of pasture to spare.Good deal, I didn't have that option so my 'herd' kept getting larger to the point where I liquidated everything a couple years back (when meat prices were high and the dollar was actually worth something).

The 22-250 is the ideal rifle for medium predator hunting as the muzzle velocity is high, plus I can reload the brass and I'm basically cheap. Sit on the back deck with an appropriate long gun, sitting in deck chair and drilling whatever comes by. Great fun for me, not any fun for them....
While you may invest money in a tractor, the actual tractor is not always an investment. I did not buy my tractor to make me money, it is an asset, but it won't ever make me what it cost me. And I didn't buy it with that purpose in mind. So it is not an investment in the true sense of making money. Btw, is food an investment? With your definition it is, as is even toilet paper
