[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 380376, member: 4437"] Give me one hundred good cows, ten semen sires, and I will show you ONE great one just about every third year. That freaky calf that just blows the doors off of whatever numerical standards you have set for him in individual performance and looks good doing it. You don't have to have a college degree or be a great cattleman to produce him. Statistically he WILL happen. Then everybody gets excited. They spend thousands of $$$s showing him, marketing him, promoting him. Now when he breeds his 100 cows he may be a complete dud and never repeat himself, he might throw several great ones and a lot of disappointing ones, and he might even live up to all the hype and consistently produce the kind of cattle that the breeder wants him to produce (and not every breeder has the same goals). [b]Very interesting. :idea: So if I multiply 300 cows to 30 bulls each year and I cull all of the animals except one and keep the one great one each year and do this for 20 years (20 animals minus deaths), how long will it take before I make my first million in the purebred cattle business? Can I be on RFD TV? Could I buy a private island then and a small jet to get there? 8) [/b] [/QUOTE]
