Jake - that is exactly what I was trying to say earlier!
And I stand firm on my position - There is an exception to every rule, just don't let the exceptions rule.
I don't see the time thing as an excuse... in our case we've spend 20+ years working at our cowherd... why throw that away on an unpredictable cow... to me all that genetic work is worth more than a year of a dry cow... now a cow that repeatedly does it needs to go, but once in a lifetime isn't too horrible...

jake,
I don't disagree with you...but,notice my post. As stated I was referring to the production herd...and I should have said...non genetic production group...not the registered ones...whole different ballgame.
=============
Preston 39 Jake makes a lot of sense to me...but you do whatever you want...I have made money like stocky talks about when stocker calves are to high to winter. Buy somebodys (yours??) open cows in the fall...breed them and sell them in the spring (somebody just like you but that calves a little later buys them) and then I make money...who pays me for doing that Preston 39?? Could it be the seller and then the buyer putting money in my pocket??? Thank you...thank you...thank...you
Not sure I can always follow your fancy eastern dialect anyhow. We dont talk big to impress folks where I come from. Maybe you can educate us dumb old cowboys...what is a "non genetic production group"??? Do you have some kind of fancy new cows that dont have any genetics at all???

tapeworm,
Eastern.? Kentucky?....where in the H#@$...are you placed...Hiwaii?....geesch!
I love your approach.....if you don't like the message....attack the messenger.
I can assure you I am not intimidated. Nor am I offended...and I speak in this sense for the great state of Kentucky. I happen to reason that all regions of the world have +,s and -,s. and to insure it is not taken out of context....that includes your area. Wherever that may be.
Further, while all accolades are appreciated, my post doesn't lend itself/or accomodate a basis for your reasoning of thanks. Perhaps some other post does.
I must give you one credit..... beause of a typo...(some are lucky..even if they don't earn it)...it should have read...."non specific genetic group"...to have been more proper....display of which I am taken to task by your comments. Go tell!!! Any significant experience with cows would have revealed the intent there...unless of course finding fault was the objective.
With your post it is unlikely that you impressed many.
I do usually try to understand a clear communicae before response so I will not have to be reminded of what the first 3 letters of ...."assume"...spells. Obviously, others have a different approach. Thus, the need for this post.
You are invited to re-read my origional and follow up post. Your comments don't fit....and strongly suggests my posts were not read correctly or understood. The jury, of which. is still out.
Finally, I do not require anyone to read or respond to my post...that includes you. What limitation do you possess that limits your discretionary discernment?.
When you find out please apply it so you will not be inclined to, in the future, cast dispargements (..."us dumb old cowboys"....) upon the cowboy group...of which I happen to be a part. Then, also, perhaps you will not use a 3rd party reference when you are speaking of a singular...you. Some may be offended and that does include me!!!
