Miss @farmerjan,
How easy or hard would it be to split up the business between you and your son? It seems that he will continue to devote more and more of his attention to his girl friend and thus less and less time to you and your shared business. Do you think you could start selling off your share of the business (mostly cattle, not equipment), thus making it easier to take medical leave to have your knees done and give you time to recuperate. Then once you have recovered, perhaps you can start building back up your own business (cattle, etc.) and have your own helper(s). I may be way off base here, but it seems that your son will continue to devote more time to his girl friend and less time to you and your shared business. I hate to see you get squeezed out and see a good bit of your investment in your cattle go down in value due to neglect on his part (and inability to make up on your part).
