HCF you are a DORK!
If you had the slightest clue in the world you would be sourcing genetics that would leave you that rather than all the crap you have been spewing about.
I would say learn cattle, then learn the breed and pedigrees. Nothing wrong with trial and error but funny how you know so much for only being in the breed for about two weeks. More than lots of people know after being in the breed for years!
So, then around the age of 16 years, I decided to start developing an eye for cattle.
You "..decided to start developing an eye for cattle."
That's rich, boy. You ought to understand something....you don't just study pedigrees, listen to people talk, read Angus Journals, read research and literature, and become a cattleman. If you think that's what you are, just by book-learning, let me be the one to come flat out and tell you - YOU AREN'T ONE! That's about as accurate as saying a med student is a trusted family practitioner as soon as he/she graduates.
There's alot to be learnt from reading and researching, don't get me wrong. I've done alot of it myself to get to where I am. But true common sense, aka 'wisdom', is acquired only when all that knowledge couples with first-hand experience. How many times do you think Warpaint, SEC, Tibbs, Crowder, Alan, Denny, KMacGinley, Jake, Brandon, ALACowman, and all these others on here have packed a calf to a barn, covered in snot, slime, and $h!t, with a cow breathing down their neck? Or how many times have they cussed the man that invented barbed wire, after slicing their knuckles to the bone? Or how many times have they sat around the kitchen table with their spouse, late into the night, wondering where the money for last month's, this month's, and next month's bills will come from?
These are the things that make us who we are, boy. Not flashing money at production sales, or running your mouth about the fantasy herd you'll soon have, like some arm-chair quarterback talking about his PRO-Pick tickets. You always remind me of those old blowhards at the coffee shop trying to outdo one another with the bigger stories. Only difference is, if you were on coffee row running your mouth like you do on this board, someone would drag your @$$ out the door and make you prove your salt from your sugar.
