[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1243810, member: 14878"] Steve, You can drop the charged "line bred" thing every time you respond to me. I have the ability to relate and talk about other things. I am fully aware of the positives and negatives of it. Who the h$ll is bud?? Don't bother I know who he is just did not know his words were gospel. I can give a rats what anyone does but this is my take. When attempting to build a good cowherd, below average animals (which every herd has as you stated and I agree) are stepping stones. They can be brought up. Which is beneficial because they and progeny will be raised in your climate/management. At least they are a "known" instead of whatever can show up from a outside source. I still question the effort with all the buying/selling/driving/time/tires/wear and tear/fat @ass from sales barn seats and food but that is just me. I like to go kayaking and fishing so low input and turnover suits me. I think one should just own what they do. If that's flipping cows and runnin' and gunnin' then so be it. Breeding a good cowherd takes more patience and time. At times accepting a below animal to improve her especially if all you can fault her for is a smaller calf. Hard to accomplish both all the while AI'ing to a cornucopia not even close to one's management. When one runs a real low input northern operation there are limits to performance. Our grasses swing wildly in nutrition with low dry matter. To me it's simple nutrition. I feed a little more than I used to and it makes a difference. Starving a profit out of a cow just ain't right I have found. Just a few rambling thoughts [/QUOTE]
