[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 396457, member: 245"] As far as cattle goes, I was raised with them and I still think some days that I don't know too much. I'm still prone to the occasional dumbass move where I look back at it and think I could have handled that a little better. Some days I'm just not thinking but others, I'll come up against something that just is a bit outside my ken. The folks on this board come here with a vast amount and a variety of experience and its nice to know that if I post a question that for the most part, there's usually someone out there that has had something similar happen. The other thing is that it seems that in this Politically Correct, Post BSE world, things have changed a bit and some of the practices I never would have thought twice about before are now verboten. I had a run in with the local vet ( a pig specialist) awhile back who obviously knew very little about cattle but proceeded to tell me exactly how they should be raised and everything he felt that I was doing wrong. I think if he had his way, he would have liked me to keep them in a heated shop for the winter. It was enlightening, but the scary part is the new rules seem to be very stringent on what you can and can't do and I'm pretty sure that on most farms that if they wanted to nail you with something, they could. Anyway, it was one of those times when I got caught not thinking ( at least in a Politically Correct, Post BSE way) and next time I get caught not thinking like that I've been promised a $2000 fine. Anyway, I'm a little off topic, but my point is that even those with lots of experience can learn alot from the other people on this board. There's lots to know and if you figure you know it all, then I guess you don't need help from anybody here. [/QUOTE]
