I've got a question. You band as soon as they are born (#104)? Do you band because you already know what the cow/bull heritage are and base your decision on that? Do you look at the calf and say yea or nay? If so, what do you look for in a calf that's so young?Actually, he is a HUGE farmer. Big crop farmer besides cattle. Has his own feedlot.
He called me last night and made this deal.
He called this morning and starting chatting away about cattle I've shown. ?? I said, Don are you on my website? He said yes, and proceeded naming another red heifer I showed.
I laughed. I said Don, you committed to buy 3 bulls, not even born. And NOW you're stalking me?? You were supposed to do that BEFORE you committed. We both laughed. He said, that's TRUST.
I think I remember you saying something about older bull calves that didn't make the grade, but cutting older calves is usually the way most registered breeders do things so they can see how an animal will develop before they make the decision to cull their breeding potential.
