[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 53481, member: 171"] I have gotten several emails from longtime users of this board and told me to drop this issue because they said some people are going to get it and others aren;t. I am wasting my time. this topic got way off base so this will be my last post on this issue. I would like to summarize my points for those of you who took them off base. 1) donor cows need a little extra energy because they are ask to do more than an oridinary range cow. 2) stating who I use as my AI and ET work is not droping names it was simply stating the source for my information on donor cows and recip preg rates. 3) To the person who questions the price of an upcoming bull, The price is what the various sale managers have got from people who will be in attandance and who can't make it to the sale. that is what they are willing to pay for the bull, so at the least that is what he will go for. 4)feeding protein blocks is not feeding a cow 10 pounds of grain a day, putting out protein tubs is not pampering cows. 5)some of you who say you have cows that make it on grass alone also say you have show cattle. I know your show cattle are pampered. if they aren't feed a special diet then your aren't very competive in the show ring. 6)by stating that I try to average $2000-$4000 on cattle sold, that is not the accross the board average. some cows and bulls don't make the cut and get sold for a lot less. the above figure is my top end registered cattle that make the cut out of Ai and ET calves. 7) In the future, if you are going to make bold and outrageous statements be willing to provide proof(my brothers cousins sisters vets daughters cow had 9 calves at one time doesn't count) I had factual information from a leading ranch and genetic center and I cited this. That's not name dropping I hope this clears this topic up and puts this to bed. we don't have to all use the same practices. I justed wanted to know what others thought of using protein blocks.
