[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1530989, member: 20360"] Vince, I think I've been on this board for about 5 years and I've only been breeding beef cattle for 6-7 but I've said for the last 4-5 my goal is to consistently grow my her by retaining females that I know will be long-lasting, maternal cows after all the mess I started with by having a mix of all the "best" mainstream Angus genetics. I'm making progress on that front even quicker than I would have guessed by using "rat-tail inbred bullz" to borrow your phrase on another thread. I am to the point where if I cant secure more land, I will be at a little impasse for a few years. If thats what happens, you will get to see what some of these moderate cows can do with a charolais calf at their side and I think it will surprise some people. The catch is, you can bet that none of those calves, bulls or heifers are going to stay here. I just dont get how so many of you think you can get away with chasing Ribeye this and hanging weight that without realizing you are creating a nightmare of a cow herd but to each their own. I havent chimed in on the other thread because Ebenezer has pretty much said exactly how I feel and I dont have much to add other than I would enjoy seeing some of Ebenezer's cows too. [/QUOTE]
