[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 267468, member: 839"] This is one reason I get so fired-up at times regarding the management of these animals. There are several so-called "producers" in my area that have the cattle for whatever their reasons are, not really paying attention to the quality of the calf crop they are producing nor paying any attention to their cost of production etc. They like getting the checks at market time, and often wonder why their animals don't bring as much as others. They like the Ag. exemption regarding their real-estate taxes. About 3 years ago, while chatting with some of these fellows, I asked their opinion regarding the possibility of NAIS, they hadn't a clue what I was talking about, and thought I was nuts that I would believe that such a thing could be implimented. This bothers me, [b]because[/b] a large percent of beef animals are raised by folks like these, and it [b]does[/b] have an impact on the industry. I'm not saying that all small-time producers don't care, many do because as Caustic put it, they are operating as a part-time business and running it like a business,and trying to keep up with what's going on in the industry and keeping themselves informed and educated. I'll shut up for now. Katherine [/QUOTE]
