[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 401372, member: 13"] I agree with you completely. I know several small timers who pay more attention to genetics, perfromance, and the bottom line than some bigger, long time ranchers. The Noble Foundation is a great resource for small timers. They have several "retired" types who gave up (or retired from) successful careers in other businesses and now want to be "farmers." They're willing to learn, they have the money to start out right. On the other hand, I know one older guy who never buys a bull. He raises them and you Hereford guys would cringe if you could see his cowherd after 50 years of inbreeding. I could get on a pretty good rant about old timers, but I won't. I'll just say that there are good and bad in both. But to paint all newbys/small timers with the same brush is wrong, IMO. [/QUOTE]
