I talked with a man who buys quality pairs and then sells the cows & calves individually (after calves are weaned) for what he says is a decent profit. Anyone on here do this?

Backhoe, why is it that granddaddy, or dad in my case, always has a better eye? Lord knows I've studied everything he does - I even have a one up on my father in that I've taken many "classes" to help me use data; but if I had to bet with him and we both picked a heifer calf out, he'd pick the better cow everytime.

Go figure. Grandaddy could look at a pen and spot the best one there and tell you any flaws any of the others had. They come through the ring and I am looking and looking, the bidding is almost over by the time I decide. I am sure the ring man hates me
