[QUOTE="skyline, post: 517528, member: 5305"] Thanks for all the responses. Here's my point. If someone is arrogant, know it all, unwilling to learn, irresponsible, or any of the other negative traits mentioned above, then call them that, if you want to. On the other hand, I bet there are a lot of folks reading these posts who don't earn their living raising cattle, but who have a strong desire to learn and who have great responsibility when it comes to their cattle. They're starting from scratch and doing the best that they can. They may not have the best working facilities, but they care enough to improve as they can afford it. And they care about their safety and the safety of their cattle. They come on this board because they want to learn about cattle and associate with other cattle people that talk their language. They'd really like to make more money than they spend on their cattle, and they may be trying to figure that out. They may not have been born into it, but they're trying to get there. Heck they may even have a goal to be a "professional" some day. So, let's not group them into this "hobbyist" category that seems to be so blooming disdainful. OK? [/QUOTE]
