My Grandpa

My grandfather said that his grandparents were a little wealthier. They bought a 750 acre ranch to pass on to the family. But they also used it to raise money. They would farm from sun up to sun down growing corn and tomatoes and whatever else you can imagine. They blocked off 300 acres of land to build animal pins so that people can pay them for letting their livestock graze on our land. My grandfather said how the ranch is great fishing because his grandfather always stocked the seven tanks we have with all kinds offish. He used to go fishing at one of the ponds and would catch ten to fifteen catfish every time he went. For fun, there are huge hills on the ranch that have giant rattle snake dins so they would go hunting rattlesnakes. They even found a din at the very top of the hill where they pulled out 103 rattlesnakes. Afterwards, they had all of these rattlesnakes they didn't know what to do with. So, what they did was sell half of the snakes to people so they could get the skin and sell it to local boot shops. The other half of the snakes were to stock up on about three weeks of food.
