I guess bigbull was supposed to negotiate a higher price? Give me a break. Everyone knows this is a buyer beware business. If those cows die tomorrow who came out on top of the deal then? Walt

Each persons share now almost $43,000. Thats every man, women and child. Subtract children, disabled and elderly and I'm sure that # goes way up. Walt

The thread is going great then Ryder goes and Hi-jacks it. Walt

Still really enjoying your stories. Can't wait for the next one. Walt

Nothing wrong with calling it like you see it. Walt

The first thing I look for when I log on is a new story from you. I was retelling some of your stories to a friend of mine today, while the cows were munching on some cubes. We have 7 cows. I can live vicariously through you. :D Walt

I've been reading this whole thread the past few days and just finished a few hours ago. I really enjoyed the stories and all but what am I gonna do now. ;-) I guess I'll just have to check back every now and then. Seriously though it was really enjoyable reading. Reminded me of some of my...

:clap: :clap:

Plenty of people on here have experience with cattle and have very few now or none. While I have just a few cows I enjoy helping my neighbor out and he has a few hundred. I'd like to think I'm learning from his experience as well as my experiences helping him out. I'm not gonna stop posting...

Its no different with people. Siblings might all be short with one giant or vic versa. Walt

I think people just want to raise their own replacements more often than not. Not as many people run a terminal operation. I think it boils down to what people want to do. People want to increase pounds yet keep replacements. How many people are running F1 cows with a terminal cross bull vs...

I guess if she is breeding back ok then there really is no problem. Its been my experience that it takes longer and longer for cows like that to breed back though. I sent a cow like that to the barn last year and she brought 27 cents and weighed around 750lbs. That is a beating. This year...

I read what you said. My point is the buyers are competing against each other for the purchase. Walt

Now why would the buyer get away with paying less for non black cattle but not black cattle? The buyer will pay more when he thinks he can make more on the back end. Walt

Proof and guarantee? Why not just one or the other? Do you sell your heavy cows this way? Walt

No one knows what price he is asking for these cows. If he is asking sale barn prices or real close I wouldn't ask the guy for anything beyond looking at their teeth. I doubt too many people would pay for a vet to come out to check their own cows so someone else might buy them. Walt Walt

$200 a month with a 3 month minimum. Why buy a bull when you can rent one for $600. :roll: I bet he gets some calls too. Walt

Once you get it into your head how breeds are created its simple to understand why heterosis exists. This probably applies to most domesticated animals. Walt

http://www.ars.usda.gov/research/public ... 89229&pf=1 Quote "Crossbreeding theory predicts that the performance of cattle from the first cross (F1) of two breeds will be greater than the average performance (for a wide variety of traits) of the purebreds that comprise the F1. However, this...
