[QUOTE="Jafruech, post: 1670883, member: 24025"] I think you misunderstood what I said. I have over 100 currently. You told me to get another 100. I said I'm working on it and getting the land to support them. You're right. 100 is different than 500. Interestingly enough the friends running 500 plus pairs (800 in one case down to the South of me) also calve on pasture unassisted with similar breed back and loss rates. And no, I'm not saying everyone should run horned cattle. I don't run horned cattle. I gave a real world example of how you can take almost any program and make it profitable with the right management and marketing. Sounds like you are pretty stuck in your ways and would rather be sarcastic than think critically. You don't have to take anything I said and consider any of it. you can take what I said and try to piecemeal things together that might work. Again...your management your decision. Your sarcasm on horned cattle aside...there are real benefits to LH genetics. They have the highest unassisted birth rate of any breed (99.7%). They have incredibly high fertility and reproductive rates, and unbeatable longevity. They have naturally developed disease and parasite resistance, and have better forage browsing and hardiness than most other breeds. That's not me saying that everyone should go out and use LH genetics. But...there's lessons to be learned about how they got those trees and how the majority of herd management out there takes people further away from those traits. [/QUOTE]
