I think thats mostly true about the hobby farmer and pictures except for maybe CastratedBurro and one or two registered guys. Even if your a hobby guy doesnt mean its wrong to take pictures though...just that if you put em up here other people that DONT like em might want to talk about em to...maybe we shouldnt though??certherfbeef":3uath1lx said:BUT, according to CT rules. Taking pictures makes you a hobby farmer!
I dont waste time or money taking pictures of darn cows and its really hard for me to believe that there are many serious ranchers that do...not saying its wrong if you do...just that I dont and dont know any of my neighbors that ever pull out a stack of pictures at the coffee house or co-op. Maybe it would be differnt if I was younger but its hard enough any more for me to be sure I have my fencing pliers...ropes...bionoculars...la200..syringes...rifle and all the other mess that I might actually NEED in everthing I drive or what I ride...cant imagine trying to remember to get a stupid camera. We used to take pictures of family though (thought thats what cameras were for???)...dont even do that anymore. And being perfectly honest that makes me 100 times sadder than not having pictures of cows
Tell you guys something though....be glad to make a deal with you and it doesnt require anything of you...if I ever take a picture of a stupid cow....close up enough to tell anything about her....Ill try to find someboyd to help me post it...just dont expect it though. But if I ever do it sure wont bother me for any of you college boy livestock judgers to talk about her..run her down,,bash her whatever. I probaly wont be in no big hurry to kill her just becasue any of you wannabe ranchers dont like her.LOL
I decide my best cows based on PROFIT. That is probably a foreign term to a lot of you picture takers. And when I talk about profit that means profits from a GROUP of cattle...I cant do individual records like you big operators do..I dont tag babies and individually weigh calves at weaning...and I dont ever know who bred who because the boys are never courteous enough to ask me if its okay before they do it it to the girls. LOL Since I cant even keep individual records,me having pictures of an individual sure dont matter...but I can tell you when an individual WONT work...at least for me. And over a lot of years i have learned [the hard way sometimes LOL] the things that affect that chance to make a profit.To much white and not enough capacity for grass being some of the easy ones to spot. Those are two things I posted about to greenherefords a few weeks ago that got this whole deal started. I bet you remember that dont you ollie?? Whether any of you wannabe cowbreeders admit it or not...to much white...some of you call it a *paint job*...costs me money unless I retain cattle and sell on the rail..and who wants to do that right now?? Only a fool in my eyes would lock themselves into having to rail cattle in spite of the markets just because he wasnt smart enough to knock the spots off with selection against that trait. So you can keep all your spotted cattle and sell em to another hobby farmer that likes purty *paint jobs*. Thats fine if thats the business your in...its just not for me. Now heres something you can take to the bank...if you care about making money the best snapshot of your cattle will come from your income and expense records...not a stupid camera
ollie this next parts for you...dont want you to think that I didnt see your postings...daring me to play a show and tell game with you. LOL I really dont have a comment except that your last posting sounded like a wild man. You said i was rude?? Son my postings dont even aproach being as rude as yours. I dont ask that you be polite to me...doesnt bother me a bit ..I always told you people that I respect a man that says what he means. So I dont expect you to be polite...but i do expect you to be steady...dont tell me to do something that you wont do. Dont call me rude if your going to be ruder..dont gripe about me not giving my name and location and then you not do it...dont dare me to post a picture if your not going to do it. I dont have pictures to show you but if you do you need to post them since it was your idea. Dont you think thats fair?? I really dont care though...the only time I ever asked to see pictures was on the horse page...then I just wanted to look at peoples new colts because I dont have any to look at. And Im also still waiting to hear your other hypocrite pal condem YOU for being rude....condem YOU for being disresptful...condem YOU for calling names. You know the one Im talking about?? The one who didnt like me talking about his spotted heifer?? The one that told me to be respectful and not call names?? the one who doesnt care if you do that when your taking up for him. Im still waiting to hear him condem you ollie. Looks like Ill be waiting a long time. LOL
Sorry ollie that you got to excited and peed your pants because I didnt answer your 1st dare quick enough and i didnt get back to you quicker. You can go ahead and post your pictures if you want to..I dont need to see em and if you do post em I promise I wont make any comment if you ask me not to...you have my word so dont be scared...but you need to tell me not to say anything when you post em or else I might slip up. LOL I see that you carry on with your double standards by daring me to do something that you havent done but thats okay..I said I dont have pictures for you but will put em up there if I ever get you some...you have my word on that ollie
ollie I still hope to learn enough from you some day to be as successful a rancher as you are...so I dont ever have to work and so I can post on the cattle boards all day and half the night...ever day of the week. But right now I have another ranch that I have to tend to that dosnt even have a telephone..much less a computer...so sometimes I cant be here as regular as you guys are. When you teach me enough to hit the big time like you have hotshot Ill try to fix that problemo...believe me I would sure like to have a few more modern conveninces there myself. LOL You may continue my education now ollie...and thank you for trying to teach me to be a bigshot like you ollie. And thank everbody else for answering my poll...keep em coming
