[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1239856, member: 694"] No Cheese I just think your way is. The last thing a rookie needs is sub par cattle and the problems that go with handling them. The salebarn hates them he will get bottom prices on his calves no matter what bull he uses. So he buys cattle no one in this part of the world wants and you think that is a good place for a beginner. Much less his cattle becoming the butt of every joke at the barn. Man that is a confidence builder right there. When you are sitting in the barn and hear people saying I wonder who hauled that crap in. It is about pounds on the scales and pounds gained in the feedlot. I sit with order buyers and those calves are chipped when bought. They know how many days and how many pounds that calf put on over time in the lot. They can not compete with beef cattle in a feedlot and will be heavily discounted from now on. I love gray Brimmers and they can survive on barb wire and briers and raise a calf. It would be one breed ahead of a LH I would advice a Rookie not to start with. I have some F-1 Tigers and that be the last absolute thing I would tell him to buy. The difference is you pushing an agenda not help. . [/QUOTE]
