When a person goes to a restaurant, they don't demand to know the ownership structure, they just want their meal. A person buys a truck, who cares who sells it, you want the truck, the dealership selling it will not affect how that truck is built or performs. Who cares if Mr. Herbster owns X percentage and Kelly Schaff owns Y percentage. All I care about is getting the progeny on the ground for my OWN purposes. Some of you, and I say this respectfully are missing the forest for the trees and getting caught up in the minutiae that has absolutely no relevance upon what SAV America 8018 can bring to your operation.
When I breed to Hoover Dam, or Sydgen Enhance, or so on, I don't care how many times that bull has changed hands, it simply does not matter, all that matters is that straw, and if the parentage is correct. As long as that is the case, everything else is completely irrelevant.
Unlike anyone else in the Angus business, I'm documenting and posting heavily on President and Raindance, I will post who I breed them to and how they perform. This is a multi-year project which I hope helps people reading my posts. I'm only going to post accurate, factual data and experiences on them, not hype. I will have photos, videos, DNA, weights, progeny data etc, all in a setting outside of North Dakota. If this is not enough and you still think President or Raindance is all hype, then there is little I can do to influence your thinking otherwise.
Certain ranches have been EXTREMELY helpful to me in the past with no expectations of a return, they helped to make me a better cattleman, all I'm doing is trying to pass on what I have learned and experienced to a reader that might see this and gain an advantage from it, that's all, no agenda here, not trying to sell bulls on CT. I could be DEAD WRONG on SAV America 8018, but my gut tells me he is going to be a winner for our operation long term. You only get a limited amount of chances to breed a great herd, don't blow it because you are looking at the wrong things.
