[QUOTE="CUZ, post: 398763, member: 4301"] CB - Excellent post, while I might not agree 100% with everything you said, I sure do agree with A LOT of it. I think you've hit a lot of good points for beginners, journeymen and long-timers. Your point about being grass farmers is so dead-on for many of us (feedlot operators excluded). Sometimes, when I get to fretting over the cows body condition I can't help but think about your "Grass Farmer" comment. Your 6- weight comment is still just a goal for some of us. Now a couple of questions. When you talk about buying 3-in1's and heavy breds are you having your best success at the salebarn or are you going to breeder sales? If you're buying at the salebarn do you go by anything other than the "look" of the cow or do you try to find out who's cow it is? Can you describe your "buying at the salebarn" technique? (How long do you spend out in the barn observing them in the pen before you decide who you like? Do you try to make the first low bid when she comes in the ring or do you hold back until the end? Do you go to the sale every week? Every other week? Just when you're either selling or buying? Whenever it's raining?) Do you creep-feed your calves, or is it just Mother's milk and grass? When the bull is "on-duty" do you slip him a little feed to help keep him going? Thanks for a really good post. Cuz [/QUOTE]
