[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1551455, member: 37967"] I’m not proclaiming to be a breeding wizard, but there are some pretty sharp breeders out there that have an uncanny eye. I happen to think Kelly Schaff and Charles Cannon fall in that category, among several others. When our bulls leave here, most of the producers probably use them pretty hard. They hold up because they have good genetics and they were developed with really top nutrition. As for longevity and not being a one hit wonder, that Harvestor daughter you like Ron, is from a cow that suffered a really bad stifle injury about 45 days before she gave birth to that calf, she looked like someone with two broken legs trying to walk it off. Well she didn’t recover completely, and looks rough, but she did what a great Angus momma cow does, she made sh..t happen. We fed her nightly out in the field, made sure she had water and bedding, and she delivered that Harvestor daughter with no issues, then nursed that hoss to what she is today. The cow was 12 years old when injured. I’m trying to get her settled to SAV Elation right now, limp and all. Two of her sons brought $3k a piece and looked great, that Harvestor daughter is a fairly rare item, so why not try again? How is that for “trying to make a dollar outta 15 cents?” I know that’s not the norm, but it does speak to “real world” issues, and not just a bunch of show queens. [/QUOTE]
