[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 361328, member: 5362"] No no no no and nope! Only thing I know of him, is what I read on this forum. Your way over my head here Doc. I should have stayed in collage that last year? I'm back in the huddle now, I know this one. You got me beat there, few credits short of engineering degree [see post above] I'll talk farming with anybody, try to learn something new every day. Now you got to my point. Here's a guy who as done his homework. He's got some numbers to back it up, got a bunch of people believing in his philosphy, throws in a 440lb runt in his sale, AND STILL GETS $2000 for that sucker. Like I said, the guys a genius. Pounds is still the name of the game for most folks, its what pays the bills, there's no way in hell I could sell anybody I know a [u]bull[/u] that weaned off at 440lbs for breeding stock, period. In fact I don't know anyone round here who would be smart enough to buy him, seeing his genetic protential for growth and all. My little footnote, Whats next? IMO. Well in a few more years after most everybody has down sized the size of there cows, and more land goes to developers, and more land goes to corn crops, and theres more people to feed, and fewer farmers, you going to have to produce more pounds of feed. The livestock will allready be small [and hopefully thick] so to get more pounds are't they going to have to get larger framed. It may not be the frame race of a few years back, but is it not how the frame race started, we wanted more pounds of beef per animal. PS I HAVE been wrong before, so please give me a little leway here. or is it leeway or leaway, whatever. [/QUOTE]
