That is rich, coming from a guy that has 20 pet cows, and tells everyone how much he knows about everything.
What if 20 "pet cows" make more than another persons 100 commercial cows? Are they still pets? I'm confident enough, that I think if I owned BlackCap May 4136, 44 Ruby 2357, and a couple others I know of, but no more than 4 cows in total, that I could generate more cash flow off embryo sales, and selling their daughters bred via AI to sexed semen, than I could on a herd of 500 commercial cows.
I'm pretty sure I could clear $750k a year on 4 cows and their daughters. I could raise them on a 20 acres.

Buy the most expensive bull in a straw. Raise a bull calf, sell to other people doing the same. Nothing goes commercial, it's to valuable. The whole thing is a pyramid scheme.
If it was 30 years ago you'd be pushing ostriches.

Really Branded? You're confident? Never would have guessed
I feel like $750k is far fetched, but embryo sales is where the money's at. IMO The problem I see is having the name and not running out of customers. Something newer and better is always being promoted.************* said:jehosofat said:Bright Raven said:In summary, just what do you really do, other than being a good follower and frequently telling me how I should run my operation. ;-)

Just a matter of time.. And He'll be pootin' through silk... :cowboy:jscunn said:Kinda silly game being played. If I had.. The problem is you dont have them and what it would cost to buy them would be way more than you could make on one years embryo production. I agree with TG 750k sounds high from someone not currently a part of the cocktail circle.
I bought a bull once that was on test at Aurburn..breeder had to bring him back home, because of that..TennesseeTuxedo said:Bright Raven said:************* said:Dares never turn out well, but let me think about this.

This is probably the most interesting thing I've heard yet on here.
Be cautious of feed efficiency testing! If you read some of the University studies, these test have some inbuilt flaws when doing "head-to-head" tests.
If you take two 12 month old bulls; one is as skinny as a blacksnake and the other looks like the jolly fat man, who do you think has the most potential to get the highest gains per pound on input?
Do they limit-feed steers on feedlots? Portion control in other words.

Bright Raven said:TennesseeTuxedo said:Bright Raven said:Are you talking about their feed input efficiency or efficiency in jumping the sides of the handling facilities? ;-)
Strictly referring to feed efficiency. I've got plenty of Angus jumping out of my facilities already.
Convert to Simmental. The only problem with them is they are so laid back, they get halfway down the alley and fall asleep.
************* said:TennesseeTuxedo said:True Grit Farms said:Branded, you pick the bull test and we'll both put a bull in the test this spring or fall. Who's ever bull comes up short has to pay for the test for both bulls. We only have 4 bulls out of 35 left that could into a spring test. But have quite a few that will make the fall - winter bull evaluation tests. If you want to put some extra boot on the test I'm willing to do that also. I'm so sure that one of our bulls will test out better in the Tifton Bull Evaluation test I'll pay your test fee, travel and $5k for the bull.
You think to much of your bulls, and yourself. I've personally read enough of your BS. Put up or shut up.
An eating contest?

You know what I'd like to see as a test? A herd of cattle with half bred to a bull or two from each of you and compare the calves... A bull's value is in his offspring really, not in how big he can get. I've noticed in my herd that some of the thinner, bonier looking cows have the meatier looking calves (I've seen this in several full sisters bred to the same bulls)
