[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1557904, member: 14161"] You don't get it do you? My cow herd makes a profit per cow...…… If I want to increase weaning weights, it costs money and work to do that. Back in the late 70's and early 80's, banks encouraged cattle producers to raise bigger calves to cover the horrendous interest rates being charged then. What they forgot to equate was the cost of raising those big calves. Again, bigger weaning weights cost money and time, lots of us are quite happy to be lazy and cheap...…...and prosperous. I also have guys that buy my bulls that I am done with. I sold several 5 year olds in the past 2 years for $3000 a pop. Semen tested of course but used bulls at that. I guess others don't mind raising 500 lb calves either. You still haven't told me what specifically was wrong with the management your Daddy and Grandaddy had that you feel the need to join and market other's genetics. [/QUOTE]
