[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow2, post: 1558331, member: 32644"] So you know, Branded, I have hauled bull calves to McCumber's from a cooperator herd in Oklahoma. Raven, I'm not making this a pizzing match for little people. I've chased numbers. They couldn't get big enough for me. I've hauled 2000lb open cows to town. I've been proud in the fact that my cows were so big I could only put 8 in my 7x20 trailer. I've seen the declining condition of the cows as I hauled more hay to them. I've sat at my desk with a calculator to find that my calf check wouldn't cover my expenses. Absolutely No, Branded. I wouldn't turn out one of your bulls. This year I'll turn out 8 bulls and all but 2 will be home raised. My goal is to turn out all home raised bulls. They are a product of my environment and my management. I'm not 'into' performance cattle. I'm into quiet, calm, fertile cows who know how to take care of their calf while thriving on grass. Larry Leonhardt said "the best cow is the one who goes un-noticed the longest." I don't care how many bulls and cows and heifers SAV sells. It's nothing but :bs: to me. I'm not asking you to change your program. It's a free country. The things you brag about darn near put me out of business. [/QUOTE]
