[QUOTE="Little Cow, post: 402743, member: 5507"] Well, we certainly have a small operation and probably always will. However, I don't think we have any negative impact on the large operations. 1. We raise purebred cattle with a specific goal in mind and strive for the best quality animal, (based on health, soundness, and vigor; not trends). 2. We sell live animals privately or slaughter for family consumption. 3. We take advice from the local cattlemen, (we're active in the local Cattleman's Association), and conform our feeding practices to what is typical for our area. 4. We have good handling facilities and keep our animals wormed, vaccinated and the flies under control. 5. We did a lot of research before buying the first animal, (I even took several animal science classes in college to gain a basic understanding of how to raise livestock because I did not have family members with that knowledge). 6. We work hard at pasture maintenance and continue to look for ways to improve. I agree that small producers need to be responsible caretakers of their animals and the industry. [/QUOTE]
