[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 703922, member: 2306"] Are you serious? You've been posting on here longer than I have, and you know cattle better than that. Don't tell someone their cattle look good when they really don't. Be honest and try to help those who could use some constructive criticism. Cowgirl Telly - I'm going to be totally honest with you about the cattle you posted. Keep in mind it is not a criticism of you as a farmer or a person, some people tend to forget that remarks about their livestock are just that, and not personal attacks. These are below average cattle. One of the better lookng ones is the heifer who had a C-section, and since she had a C-section, she should be culled so that you don't give her the chance to pass on hard-calving genetics again. Yes, it may not be her fault, it could just be a freak thing, but don't take chances. There are thousands of cattle out there selling real cheap right now that you could replace her with, and just about any auction you go to will have better looking animals for sale these days - I hope. I've seen lots of Pinzgauers over the years that looked better than these specimens, so if you have your heart set on them I'd suggest finding a breeder with some real good breeding stock and buy yourself a better bull. I'm sure your cattle look better when they're fat, as it's plain to see they are in thin condition right now. Not terribly bad, but they certainly need to get to that other treed area you speak of with more grass. That's my 2 cents worth. Don't see the point in biting my tongue, but keep in mind I don't mean to offend you, just trying to help. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
