Just is frustrating to have someone make a mistake (if it was one) that we could have prevented. Just like to help people avoid pitfalls.
Might be purrrfect!
The day I went and looked at these black ones I stopped and looked at some 18 month old herefords. The guy told me over the phone that they weighed around 800 pnds. and he wanted $800 a piece for them. When I got there I was instanly mad, he'd be lucky if they were 500 pnds. So I turned around and walked away, biting my tounge. Then I looked at these 3 yr. olds, and I was thinking what is wrong with these people. My 8 month old bull is bigger then these so called 800 pnd herefords. I'm just wondering if I'm used to looking at my big cows so i think the norm should be as big. Then I look at everyone elses cows around here( local breeders) and there all big. At the fair I see really nice cattle, and there 6 month old steers are huge compared to mine. I'm sure genetics and creep feeding has a lot to do with it. I just wonder about these people that don't know how to feed these cows, and they think that there doing everything right. Maybe I should say something to them when I see things like that, but I've learned to stay quite and walk away, because some people don't like what they hear.
