[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 824127, member: 16303"] It always seem that someone tries to take comments or suggestions and take them out of context. I have had calles from breeders that raise both registered Angus and registered Charolais. They breed the Angus to Angus and the Charolais to Charolais for a a 60 - 90 period. Then they put a Charolas bull with the Angus and an Angus bull with the Charolais. This is only one scenario. Had calls from breeders that don't like all of the politics in their breed association. Aren't these cattle from registerd purebred animals? Where else can they be registered? What is wrong with registering them or having genetic evaluations on them? It may surprise you as to how many people have paper records on their herd that can go back several generations knowing the lineage and breed makeup. So if you want to laugh go ahead, but genetics plays an important role in the production of beef cattle. If you are purchasing replacement females for a commercial operation, would the genetics or breed makeup of those cattle be important or not? Or, are you happy with knowing that they are black (as an example) and everything else is just a crapshoot? Would it be nice to know what those replacements are bred to? How many of you have bought first calf heifers or even cows that you have had to pull calves, or even lost one or two of the cows? Is that profitable? Why do you have beef cattle? Is it just a hobby and something to do or are your intentions to make a profit? Is it only because your parents or grandparents had cattle? You want to make us out to be the enemy, but we are not. We offer a service to those that wish to use it. If you aren't interested in our services, that is OK with us, we know that our service isn't for everyone. But, please don't make fun of those that do find value and usefulness for what we have to offer. [/QUOTE]
