I want my own kind to REPRESENT the breed with some bit of intelligence, Not just saying breed herefords because they are lovely, and pretty, and the best. They are not the best their ownly usefullness in my eye's are in a crossbreeding program. Telling people to only breed heifers at 2 years of age is also assine. Can you imagine if I walked into my bankers office trying to get a $100,000 dollar loan to buy replacement heifers and trying to get my cash flow to work after sitting on them for a year when they should have been having calves? No he would laugh at you. I know you love your herefords but people like you are the laughing stock of real cattlemen.

I want say I am your kind but heifers had better be ready to go at one year for me. I have no room for a nonproductive cow,and she had better drop a calf every twelve months. I know ya'll are probablly sick of my saying ruthless culling of the herd, I am not raising pets. I have been in the cattle business since I was sixteen. I love it but its still about $$$.

I don't know if you'll hate me know or take it as a compliment I want you to take it as a cmpliment and thank you.

Thank you. I think that you are an asset to this board.
You have the potential of being what you want to be. Most young people your age have no idea what they want to be.
I just hope that you go into working with animals. Maybe a Vet practice or
working with a feedyard. Lots of young ladies are being employed to work with and care for cattle in feedyards.
More now than in past years.

Ellie I still love you and you keep doing what feels right. I hate opinionated cattlemen that it's there way or the highway. All breeds bring something to the table. It's amazing what you can learn from others by opening your mind and ears. In nearly 50 years I never visited someones operation that I didn't leave without learning something new.Ellie May":2enxdddm said:

I appreciate Ellie although I sometimes wonder if she isn't really a 50 year old man in Iowa sitting in his long handles all day just fooling with us.

Thanks Ollie! A thousand thank-you's, as that was the funniest mental image you drew with your comment. Can't quit grinning now even though I'm past giggling over it.
No offense, Ellie (long johns or not), but God bless people with a well developed sense of humour. It's been a loooooong calving season, and still 80 head left.
Take care, and keep on smiling.

Wrong! I may not wax poetic about it, but that love for the critters is still there. That's the reason after having retired and gone out of the (relatively) large herd we now are back to just a couple of dozen head. And trust me, I'm significantly past being a teenager, or 50 for that matter.
