The math belongs to Chris, not me, but I'll stand by the numbers just the same. For those who might have started reading the board lately, you will notice there are basically four type of folks who post here:
1) Producers who attempt to make a profit off their calf crop
2) Breeder/seedstock operators who attempt to sell their animals to producers for a premium
3) Hobbyists and people running specialty breeds who attempt to at least get a tax deduction for something they enjoy (no insult implied)
4) And then there are those who claim to be #1 or #2 but were born with a burr under their saddle. Either that or they're "all hat and no cattle" and attempt to sound like a big shot on the boards by talking down to folks.
Some of the comments posted here will apply to 1 – 3, some of the comments are made from a single point of view. It's what keeps it all interesting.
