[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 778233, member: 8829"] I think alot of it is they can't see the financial part fo running a consistant herd because they just have done it that way and their daddy done it that way and they won't beleive it EVEN if you show them the check or ol Bessy will raise a 700lb calf every yr the part is they can't or won't figure out that ol bessy's calf only brought $0.90 and ol gerts calf brought $0.90 and the rest of their mismatched rainbow herd brought $.90 and if they would of all been the same color they would have brought 10-20 cents more per lb and they don't all have to be the same just enough for the barns to be able to run 5 or 10 thru at a time that match and they also can't see that a uniform set of calves weighing 650lbs will bring more $$ than their 700lb rainbow calves for the same input everytime I am also not a big fan on the weaning weight hype because if I wean my calves at 6-7 months and the next guy weans his at 8-9 months there is no way for weaning weights to mean anything, the same goes for people that creep and those of us that don't Alot of these folks are also the ones like Shaz pointed out they don't vaccinate,don't preg check, and don't use any type of mineral and buy a $1000 bull from the sale barn at all they just turn em loose and then check em once a month when they think about it so I guess you would call it Minimal management :lol: [/QUOTE]
