[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 1285896, member: 97"] gizmom- I think the biggest share of us that have been in cattle business have gotten hooked in somewhere along the line with all the promises from the promotions of the "bigger, better, fasters"... Its just common nature... Back in the late 60's- I even got hooked in by all the "experts" and my college professors that were saying that if you didn't go with the continentals you would be left behind... So we started trying all the simmi, limmi, char combinations-- and after years of battling the problems that came with them, finally went back to angus and hereford -- but I went with the "bull of the month bigger, better, fasters" which presented their own set of problems... Eventually, as I got older, I realized the same thing-- breed cattle that you like and not what the big boys or the "experts" say you have to- breed cattle that fit your management style and environment - and after nearly 20 years of doing that I've found a type of cattle that is much more trouble free and a lot easier to manage... Nothing now could ever make me go back thru the experiences I had with the others...And hopefully my son can benefit from my experiences with the line of cattle we are building... [/QUOTE]
