[QUOTE="Logar, post: 1471770, member: 31166"] Sounds easy enough if you don't mind setting fire to 5 grand. Cows like these get a few chances due to their value.[/quote] The problem is if someone does NOT stop the line, it carries on. That "value" is only on paper and kept high by "hiding her problems from others" so when you sell that calf you have a pedigree that says some fancy things but does not tell the truth of the cow. I am serious when I say I have - using your words - I have "set fire to 5 grand" - because if I did not - sooner or later some other person down the road gets to inherit a piece of my problem. And then it carries on yet again. So when I see these lines of thought on these boards and they are here a lot, I often ask myself - "What kind of animals are they breeding?" and "Why would they put up with so much crapola?" A darned good cow is one that breeds, raises, and breeds back - a good healthy calf and no problems of her own. Anything less - while perhaps nice for some names on a piece of paper and some "value for that name on a piece of paper" - is still less of an animal. So that is why I talk the way I do and - yup - as much as I have hated to do it - I have fattened and eaten a cow worth many thousands - if only to keep her from giving YOU or someone else down the road a heifer calf that has the same problems as the cow (or even worse). My best to all. [/QUOTE]
