[QUOTE="shadyhollownj, post: 1106870, member: 9320"] I dont really know where this got off on the I wanna spend 10K on a cow without any concern of genetics. Doc I usually get what you are saying but this post is outta left field. Where did I say I want a 10k cow that looks terrible with terrible parents and epds? Who is focused on money? I threw a number out for an example and you a running with it like I said i just wanna spend 10k on bad cow cause some jerk from CT ran me up. Dont think by any means that SL wasnt a learning experience. Yeah I probably wont make the money spent worth it but it was a great lesson. Bad lesson but still a good lesson for the future. As I said earlier I have talked to 2 breeders that gave me advice to spend as much as I could on a good cow rather than a few average cows to advance the herd. I can repeat that if everyone wants to keep ignoring that. That is what THEY recommended to do. NOT ME. That is why I posed the question to see which way members here have done it. I do care about genetics and breeding and not just Epds. I have spoken to more breeders across the country about flushes and embryos than I can even count. Thanks George. Apparently we need to let people know what a Budget is. I have one and have several ways to try to get better stock. Maybe I should just close my eyes and wake up with a silver spoon and all the experience of a multigenerational ranching family instead of being a guy thats never farmed and trying to get ahead with his herd that has a budget, goals, and balls which apparently a lot of people here are lacking.
