[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 148505, member: 1604"] "stig·ma ( P ) Pronunciation Key (stgm) n. pl. stig·ma·ta (stg-mät, -mt, stgm-) or stig·mas 1. A mark or token of infamy, disgrace, or reproach" The two above preceding statements are indicative of many on this board and in the world of cattle. Maybe even including me! For a cattleman (who is actually in the beef business) to allude to the fact that another breed of cattle might be "stigmatized" only because of their loyalty to his own breed has huge repercussions on the incomes of others who are in the beef business, but are boycotted by others only because of "perceptions" by the ignorant. LaAngus; I read your posts fervently because I respect your knowledge, wit, and intelligence of the cattle business. But I promise you this........if you know anyone........anyone at all who sells cattle by the pound.............you know someone who would want the aforementioned calves. Yes, the gentleman who owns these calves will probably take a hit when he sells them. But not because they are not good calves. He will take a hit because it is built in the system that some breeds "CAN and WILL" be discriminated against simply because of the ignorance of others and the ability to do so. I have persuaded the man who owns these calves to take any ones he will not use in his herd to; send them to the feedlot and sell on the grid in order to bypass any buyers who will take advantage of him when given the opportunity. I'll get off my soapbox and relegate myself to the chores before me in order to attempt the impossible and persuade others that there is a place for more than one breed of cattle in this world. "I don't know anyone who would want them".............. What a ridiculous and "Holier than Thou" statement from someone who............ HASN'T EVEN SEEN THEM! My humblest regards [/QUOTE]
