area of expertise

[cow pollinater]

In addition to eighteen years of commercial AI work on dairies and a few ranches I farmed citrus, almonds, pecans and walnuts and ran a small beekeeping operation in addition to running cows. Since our move it's just bees and cattle and a few small AI projects to help out neighbors. I'll always share what I know if I think I have something to offer as I enjoy helping people but I'm a far cry from expert at any of it. :lol:

First 18 years out of college I was a mortgage banker employed by a Savings and Loan association. Regulations etc. became so burdensome it took all the enjoyment out of the work so I quit and wife and I opened our own dairy. Owned and operated a dairy for just over 10 years and loved it but had an opportunity to sell out and take my profit so did this. During our dairy days I did nutritional consulting for a number of feed companies and individuals and continued to do this until just the last few years. Am now fully retired and just enjoying my small herd of cattle.

28 years on Microstation here. Done some dandy looking layouts for barns, working corrals, etc!!!!!

Spent the last 18 years as a design engineer. Spend every day doing 2D design and 3D modeling. Not a lot of call for that in the cattle business, though I do model up projects like barns and working facilities. Gives me a good idea how things look and materials I need to buy.
Also spent quite a while doing taxidermy part time. Mostly deer heads, all mammals. Never got into birds or fish. Once the kids came I had to give it up.

3d modeling also, and creating drawings from the models, using SolidWorks. I just started that about 7 years ago after working at carpentry or some other form of construction most of the time before, though I've had other jobs ranging from assistant manager at a 60,000 square foot department store to beekeeper. Magis, what software do you use? SolidWorks is the only one I'm familiar with. I know just enough AutoCAD for it to p**s me off.

I've been working with cattle since I was a small boy, and while I don't claim to be an expert at anything, I think I'm pretty good at getting them to do what I want them to do.

I use ProE mainly, but we have some older 2D files in Microstation, I hate that program.

We've emailed back and forth. I knew from your email address, you did something interesting. Now I know.

I would say I am pretty good at baling wire, duct tape, silicon sealer and JB weld.

I bought a diary farm right out of high school (family ownes a construction business so helped fund my farm) After 6 years of milking cows, I figured there must be an easier way to make a living. Sold my cows and equipment and built a car wash, then another and another. Sold two of the car washes and built a hotel. I currently manage the day to day operations of the hotel. I am not an expert at anything, but I am pretty good at hiring people that are.

Currently have 16 angus cows and love it!
