[QUOTE="City Guy, post: 1350643, member: 25547"] GOOD GRIEF, DON'T YOU GUYS LISTEN? I have said that what I know about this business I learned from cattle producers--from all over the world. People like you. I am looking at the book shelves to my left and count 10 large notebooks filled with printed info (and my own handwritten notes). And the filing cabinet behind me contains at least two drawers of material yet to be sorted and filed. To my left is a fat folder with info I have gleaned from you all just since I started on this forum. I am at the point in my studies where I no longer look for info that supports my preconceived ideas, but rather I seek ideas to the contrary! Remember, in my initial introduction I asked you all to change my mind if you could. And you have. I now realize that it is an economic necessity to breed heifers to calve at two years of age. And you have opened my eyes about the validity of BSEs. I learned these things because you were kind enough to WRITE THEM DOWN and I was smart enough TO READ THEM. Sounds like book learnin' to me. Or should I discount it because I read it and did not experience it? Just as with all my other studies I don't believe all that I read on this site. Some of it makes no sense!! I have to read "between the lines" sometimes to learn anything. But I am learning. I've said before I can learn from your experience and you can learn from my ignorance. And for heaven's sake, please stop with the "Every situation is different" mantra. I KNOW THAT!!! I'm going to start calling you all "Captain Obvious" or "Colonel Cliche". [/QUOTE]
