[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1563810, member: 37967"] The only people I look down on are people that neglect their animals. If you feel that is your situation, too bad! If it’s not, don’t be bothered. I don’t like to see animals suffer because their owners either don’t care or have planned so poorly that they are no longer able to feed them. I stand by what I said about Kentucky cattle. They leave a lot to be desired, that’s a fact you cannot explain away. If you think our cattle are great here in the KY, then explain why the average Angus bull price in Kentucky is about 50% lower than other states? Tell me why we are the biggest producer east of the Mississippi, but we have low prices. Why did we have a vet falsify health records with a family that has a major cattle operation in Kentucky to ship sick cattle out of state? Why? Was it because our cattle are so fantastic here? There are producers here in Kentucky that do a great job, commercial and registered, but there are others that don’t know jack about cattle. I’ve not heard of too many people in Kentucky that could put together 40-50 fancy black steers, that 50% or more could score prime. Do you know of any? I would like to speak with them for ideas. One thing is for sure, that would not be an issue for producers out west or up north. They could do that blindfolded. We have the resources here, but lack vision. Old habits die hard. Instead of looking forward, many are stuck reminiscing on the tobacco days or dairy. Where has that gotten them? I see equipment piling up at the auction house, why? I guess people need cash. Who knows? It can’t be because their businesses are expanding. [/QUOTE]
