[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 1035118, member: 1683"] Rowdy- :lol2: :lol2: Thanks for the compliment! But inasmuch as I have not been actively engaged in the physical business of handling and raising cattle on a daily basis as I did previously, starting over - as with a fantasy herd - would not be as cogent (look it up!) as if I had rampant bulls, cows in heat and bawling weaned calves with which to contend! This is where the critical factor of [b][u]BALANCE[/u][/b] takes precedence over pie-in-the-sky dreaming and play-acting. [b]REAL[/b] animals with [b]REAL[/b] Phenotypic Traits and [b]REAL[/b] EPD's, and [b]REAL[/b] accuracies are the [b]REAL[/b] factors which determine how a breeder can focus his efforts on improvement of his seedstock herd, and make [b]REAL[/b] PROFIT$. It really takes strong efforts and a lot of contemplation and focused thought to make your dreams work out correctly in your [b]REAL[/b] cattle herd, whether you have five cows, or five thousand. It is just a matter of percentages and priorities! And a lot of prayers, too! On a personal note just now - - - our oldest son passed away last Wednesday in Ohio, and we are leaving tomorrow to go back for the services, so I will not be on CT for about a week.
