His kids ran the cattle ranch, and it was named "Focus," because that's where the sons raise meat.

Road vehicle/rowed vehicle

Reckless drivers are seldom wreckless drivers.

If you have all the parts, you have a whole; if you don't have all the parts, you have a hole.

Closely related is the text that I sent my wife who is currently skiing in a bit of a heat wave. She didn't message me to say how it was so I sent the following:

Well - what's the verdict?
Was the trip worthwhile or worthless?
Are the slopes awesome or awful?
Will the skiing be terrific or terrible, appealing or appalling?
Will you be on-piste or pissed off?
Will you be wining or whining
Do tell.

(I know it is more of an approximately antonymic homophonic sentence relying of multiple the meanings of "find", rather than a pair single word antonym homophones, but nonetheless pretty awesome, I reckon)
