But when I look thru catalog with 90% boughten genetics why would I even begin to look at it? I got a cow family I bought I averaged $3050/calf on. I was plumb tickled.

I'm waiting for the rumor to get started that America is not really Angus, but a zebu/holstein cross that is actually an old steer that was painted black right before entering the ring, right?
This is not even funny, it's just plain stupid.
Till you sound like the kind of breeder I would buy from. Most of the other's I would avoid. They are selling paper not pasture performance. Got to remember figures don't lie but liars figure.
I ran a registered herd for decades.
Thanks CB I appreciate that. The truth and doing the right thing when money is on the line is a hard thing to do. My reputation means more than anything to my family and my little operation. I stand behind everything that leaves here 100%.Caustic Burno said:Till-Hill said:Branded impressive feat I'll give you that. SAV and Herbsters will always have more better cattle than I will.
