[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 118522, member: 587"] There are a number of things I need to be having discussions with him about. I just hate doing it. I was using the steer as an example. I've never claimed that we had a large operation, and I've noticed that most on the boards clam up when questions are asked about how many head they run, like "asking how much money you have in your bank account." Does this or does this not also apply to me? The bull that Texan apparently doesn't like was sold at six months old to a man who wanted to evaluate him for a while before he made the decision of what to do with him. The man had three crossbred heifers I think. I don't know what he did with him. Feel free to dissect him point by point based on the grainy picture. Concerning leather, I will say this, and this is all I intend to say: I will not cull on leather alone. That is the last point of refinement to work on after I have everything else like I want it. I said no thin skin this time, and I'm doing my best to keep it that way. I enjoy my cattle and like them, and have my priorities. High on the list are disposition and carcass. Maybe my eye is different than yours. Maybe my priorities are different. I'll listen and adjust them for people who actually get out in the pasture, look at my cattle in the flesh, and make their case for what I need to do different. I purchased my seedstock from folks who've stayed in the business for decades, and I don't think they did by selling junk. [/QUOTE]
