Limi's a little cheaper to feed

[alacattleman]

I am not trying to bash limi's mind you as his are probably not the norm and he is an idiot that became a millionaire at 21 cuz his daddy was rich. Never worked a day in his life, never messes with the cows, has a 80 year old herdsman that pulls all the calves and gets paid nothing.

bet the herdsman is his daddy

[tncattle467]

Nope, the herdsman aint his daddy. His daddy died when this kid was a little boy and left him a couple million dollars. As soon as the boy became 21 years of age he became a millionaire. This herdsman worked for his daddy before he died. Now he stays on with this millionaire. He makes decent money mind you but he is 80 years old and does not need to be out there pulling calves in 12 degree weather and having to baby sit them. He has tried to get this boy to get rid of his limo bulls and even his limo cows but the boy refuses to listen. He has more money than sense.

does the old man have a anchor tied too his ass?

Interesting argument. Both the NALF and Simi organizations are promoting the idea of crossbreeding with Angus. It seems you would disagree with cross breeding to "take advantage of both" so to speak?

That is exactly my point. Run British cows and breed them continental. Don't try to make Angus terminal as well as maternal, and vice versa. We have terminal breeds to do that, and then we also get the hybrid vigour advantage. Of course they have to be a bit of both traits in all animals, but I don't think we need to swing the pendulum too far.

People in the south have been using terminal Angus bulls on Brahman cross cattle for years with very good results. Don't see why it would not work with Limi's

No,

He is thinking about quitting. He has no formal education and could not find work elsewhere. Hes a good ole boy but why he takes this fellers crap is beyond me. He must be getting payed to darn good. Heck he built a house here a couple years ago that was 150,000 dollars so he must be doing alright. I offered him a job but he turned me down.

I have read the same comments from him on Limi's before, when he was TnMBP.

Considering the dude he works for is a millionaire I say he gets nothing. He only stays on cuz the fellas mom is still alive and he works for her. I meant he gets paid just not paid his fair share in my opinion for all the things he does and all the crap he takes.

Not making anything up. Why would I have a reason to lie about someone else? Also, I assumed his house was about 150,000 because it is in a subdivision where the houses are that and up. His is the smallest in the subdivison. I looked on the tn real estate assessment data and saw where he had 21 acres that he bought for a thousand dollars back in the day but did not see the house he lives in so I would say the millionaire fella owns it and just lets him live there. I just found on the real estate assessment data site where the house he lives in is owned by the millionaire boys mother and not by this 80 year old fella. All I could find that he owned was 21 acres that he gave 1,000 dollars for back in 1990 Poor fella.

We have known for years that the higher lean meat yield cattle had better feed conversion. We raised Blonde d'Aquitaine in the 80's and 90's and our bulls routinely beat every other breed for feed conversion at the bull tests. Limo's are in the same category. Lower fat, less organ mass, higher cutability. That leads to better feed conversion and better RFI. It is also one of the reasons that the British cattle make better range cows; more fat, more organ mass (specifically rumen volume). Would have been simpler to just use the breeds for what they were for instead of trying to make them all the same as each other.

Hear, Hear!

No Herefords JHH wish there had of been. When you cross the best at feed converison with the most efficient you should have bell ringers. Sure would have liked to have seen those calves.

Wish I had taken a pic or two. I sure liked how they looked. Little blocks running around the pen.No funnel butts!

We went from feed efficeincy to bashing breeds. I think there is a place for all breeds.
