[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 622847, member: 8829"] It isn't a dream world As for that bull being dead that is whay they sell insurance, yes there is risk in the cattle business, and I can afford the risk if I couldn't I wouldn't be in this business I have worked long and hard to get to where I am and If something happened to one of these bulls then so be it that is a conscious business decision I made on taking that risk If you cannot afford the risk then by all means don't take them As for the bulls being average if you do your homework that is a very slight possibility with the information available So I am sorry if I offended you Aero, I didn't say a thing about you and your operation so don't go telling me I am in a dream world I am not one of these people that run a few cows and have a day job I run cows as a living not as a Hobby and they are our only means of an income and I do well at it and have been in the business for over 20 yrs Also a person running 25-50 cows cannot do this and it work the reason it works for me is that I run a larger number of cows and I market my cattle in a totally different way than a small producer , even if a small producer forms a co-op with other producers they still have a disadvantage because it takes a consistant cowherd to produce like and consistant groups of calves and it is hard and usually financially impossible to get 3 or 4 guys to sell all there cows and start fresh and all buy a consistant set of cows [/QUOTE]
