[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 951449, member: 6543"] I like where I am and would probably do it all over again....Registered Angus.....but I would do less of the chasing I did in my youth and stick more to what I believe is true....stay out of the showring and let the scales guide my herd in the right directions. not knocking anyone elses breed or choices....they all have value or they would not be here. back in the dark ages when I was in college Dr. George Green made the statement "There is as much Variation within breeds as there is between breeds." It was true then and I think it is still true today certainly for the breeds that have some numbers.... it is important to pick one you love....have an ideal animal in mind and work toward that ideal....breeding cattle is a lifes work.... unless you have plenty of money...then the marketing of someone elses life work becomes the project. I have had a much harder time with horses.... i love all types and over the years the ones I covet have changed..... I still love foundation quarter horses.... I love old type big stout good minded walking horses.... I love Rocky Mountain horses for their gait and disposition.... I love drafters and mules as well.... What I like in a horse and what I need in a horse, as a beat up and broke down old man, are not necessarily the same either.... [/QUOTE]
