[QUOTE="AudieWyoming, post: 730090, member: 13669"] Very profound advice and observations from novatech here, I wholeheartedly agree. When I was first trying to put some money together working as Herdsman for a dairy I got the opportunity to build a small herd of Holstein cows of my own. With A.I. and retained heifers I thought I was getting better cows all the time. Building quality genetics is a never ending process, but you won't live long enough, or at least be in business long enough, if you don't start with good ones! As a side note; By the time I felt that dairy herd had my mark on it, and I couldn't wait to get the new matings that were on the ground, or even still in the cows, into production, I was 32 years old. I had read somewhere that "[color=#FF8000]whatever you are doing when you are 33, thats what you will be doing for the rest of your life" [/color] :D That dairy/feedlot was a great educational experience, but not my career dream!!! Time to move on. @ [/QUOTE]
