Really disappointed in Blackpower's R-CALF poll on the Beginner's Board. Maybe it was just in the wrong place. I wasn't too surprised in the 4 votes supporting R-CALF. I'm sure that's pretty accurate. What bothers me is that only 16 people even voted!
There's almost 600 registered users on this Board. I feel sure most of them aren't regular users, but there's got to be at least 40 or 50 that saw it and had a chance to vote. And only 16 voted! That's not good. Although I personally have no use for their methods and management, I'd rather see you be a member of R-CALF than to not even care one way or another!
Whether you like R-CALF or not, they are controversial enough that all cattlemen should at least have an opinion one way or another! For those of you that feel like you didn't know enough about it to vote, you need to change that. You can search through these boards and find out a lot.
Unless you consume all of the cattle you raise, or let them die on your place, you're part of the cattle industry. Doesn't matter if you've got one baby calf or if you make your living in this business. Try to learn something about it besides the health, feeding and breeding aspects. This is a business that you're part of! Get involved in your industry!
