[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1362869, member: 20580"] Glad to see that someone else out there has noticed this too, I've gone off on a few rants on this subject over the years. That's the one thing that really frustrates me, there are guys out there who talk/act like they must be the only ones who are breeding cattle better than the rest of us are and will tell people how everyone else seems to be doing it all wrong or in other terms "ruining" the breed. I think with any breed you are going to find some kind of variation in type based on environment/location and management practices. I'm sure as heck not going to bad mouth another breeder's cattle, you never know if that guy may send someone your way if they don't have something for sale as we've done the same if we don't have something at the time. Bottom line though is your customers are the ones that are really doing the talking about what type of cattle you are raising: either you're able to market and sell what you are raising or you're not. If some of those guys come back to buy more from you again I think repeat business is the true test if you're doing something right. Maybe this is a bad analogy but it's almost like saying you love your Chevy or Ford but some other guy's truck of the same brand that isn't exactly like your truck is a total piece of crap. [/QUOTE]
