[QUOTE="novatech, post: 737161, member: 5494"] Just don't believe in cutting down people because they show or don't show. I do not show but go to shows to learn. Don't have to. I could just go out and tell people my cows are great and expect them to believe it. Now just to let you know my attitude about this is relatively new. I was brought up in the commercial cattle business. I had no use for show people or their livestock. When I got into F1's I wanted to know what people wanted. I started to go to shows. Well I thought I new a lot but found out I really didn't know squat. I found out there are very good reasons why traits are important. I'm still learning and hope I never quit until they throw dirt on me. The older I get the more I realize how important knowledge is and how little I really know. Experience is important but doing something wrong for a hundred years does not make it right. If you want to listen to a lot of experience well here is some. We used to treat pink eye by squirting kerosene in their eye. There are probably a hundred other things I could bring up where experience doesn't work. Listen to what everyone has to say, then research it for yourself. [/QUOTE]
