How quickly Branded forgets that he was just talking about selling "junk" bulls with no BSE or papers.
You know I only poke you about that cuz you don't think your poo poo stinks. When you pride yourself in the best of the best but sell your top of the line bulls on Craigslist for $2500 and I can sell a commercial for $3400 (that can be backed up on the auction site online).... I have to give you grief.
I have obtained more PB's in the last 2 years than you have built in the last 50. I'm now increasing my herd even more because I can sell embryos for $1200 off a cow I bought for $2600. If I sold every one of her embryos, I'd have acquired over 100k but we're putting many of them in recips this year. I have a bull that has more orders for semen than I can even provide right now cuz Mr One Pump Chump doesn't like this cold weather.
But I'm not on here telling everyone else how to do it. I'm here learning every thing I can from people who've been in this industry a lot longer than I have been.
When Charles Herbster gets back from Mexico, he's PERSONALLY delivering semen we ordered. Tell me your name again? I didn't quite hear you? *mic drop*
I still don't understand the personal attacks, there is something more to the story as to why you say what you do about our operation.
Secondly, knowing as much as you do about Angus, AI, and ET, it makes no sense why you don't run a registered herd. It's only $7 to register an animal and if you are such a rockstar with commercial, imagine what you would be as a seed stock producer, especially given that you have a "Big Reputation"
Lastly, I thought it was really tacky to mention someone's travel schedule and how this certain someone is personally delivering semen to you as if they are somehow serving you, as if you are so special. I'm sure he appreciates that you told the world where he has been traveling to and from. I would have never shared that with anyone.
If you truly buy 500 straws of semen a year, I could almost assure everyone here you pay the deeply discounted commercial rate with volume discount and then on top of that you don't pay for certificates. Let's tell everyone how it really is, you aren't ballin that big are you?
You might have, as I said before a "Big Reputation" but without those papers and a DNA test why would someone use your bulls who was in the registered business? If i bought one of your bulls and started using it, I couldn't register the progeny or be able to accurately know what's in the bloodline. What good is that to me?
The whole purpose of a registered animal is to know what's in the blood, throw in stacked DNA tests, and genetic bundle test on top and the picture gets even more accurate. I don't get that picture with you, all I get is "trust me, it's all good" and "your buying reputation, which is secondary to pedigree and confirmed parentage.
For someone that is trying to learn, you sure talk like you have it all figured out.
I was warned at how nasty this business can be, and how competitive, I'm getting a good taste of that with you. I think it's more like you don't want any competition. When you made your snide remarks about our new Elation calves, that told me a lot about you. Ron and others congratulated me privately, you on the other hand searched Square B's Facebook page and had to make a spectacle of things. Who does that?
