[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 920697, member: 16769"] Been out of town for a couple of days. BA guys, I've got nothing against your cattle -- they just aren't the cattle for us. And like I (think) I said before, I originally thought CAB beef had more to do with percentage of purebred, than 51% color + carcass quality. I hadn't studied it. I think everyone in the beef business, today (if not drought affected) is better off than a year ago. The registries that haven't promoted like AAA only have themselves to blame if they aren't getting the press/promotion that Angus does. To me, that's the long and short of it: [b]We keep the cattle we keep because they are good for our souls and/or good for our bank accounts. [/b] Hope everyone had a good weekend. It is absolutely, fabulously beautiful weather here today! Mid 70's, with none of our normal wind. A lady near my daughter's home (where I spent the weekend) starts our tomatoes for us and several of my co-workers every year. I called her last night; tomatoes plants were big enough to leave home, so I picked those up on the way home today. We'll put them under "Walls of Water" when we put them in next weekend, for 10 days or so if needed -- then they should be off and running. HELLOOOOOOO SPRING! [/QUOTE]
