A bison bull at Badlands National Park in South Dakota. |
This will probably be my last assessment of the decision I made two years ago to resign from my government career and transition to bison ranching full-time. In my last blog post on this subject I answered a few questions regarding this decision and I'm happy to say that none of the answers to these questions have changed.
One change I have noticed over these two years has been in my state of mind. The subconscious part of my mind always seems to be the last part of me to acknowledge major life changes and, in the last few months, I've sensed that part of my mind has finally caught up with the present state of things. I'm no longer having dreams in which I still work for the government and, according to my wife, I've stopped swearing in my sleep.
You can never know what the future holds, but I do believe that Jess and I have made the right decision to start a bison ranch and that we are moving together in a good direction.
