[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 431428, member: 6496"] Oh no it isn't from lack of discussing the topic it's the fact my wife and I are considered to have "wacky, crazy, ridiculous" ideas because we think outside the box. Her parents and oldest sister and her husband work together and are pretty much old school set in their ways. I can't wait to hear what they have to say when we tell them we are thinking of crossing LH's and Char's. We deal pretty closely to my wife's other sister who is into cattle and her husband, but we don't do anything 50/50 or favors. A couple of years ago we needed a bull to breed our cows so we leased one of theirs. I've seen what 50/50 and favors can do to a family and it isn't going to happen to mine. Sometimes it works, but mostly what I've seen it just causes hard feelings. Now would I hire say my brother to work for me, absolutely. Would I want my brother or any other family member as a partner, no way. When it comes to my livestock and my livestock business I'm a hard person and sometimes hard to be around, ask my wife! Could we make more money using similar genetics, probably. However, two families would have to overhaul their herds to realign themselves will similar genetics and that isn't going to happen any time soon. [/QUOTE]
