stupid questions?

[kjones]

would it not be better to ask a " stupid question ", and learn from the responses, than make an uneducated guess and mess up?

Hey, you just ask whatever you need to ask, there are no stupid questions and ignorance is not stupidity. Some of the folks here forget that everyone was not raised like they were and were not born with their "knowledge". Just ignore their attitude. On the other hand there is some here that want to help and give encouragement. Remember that.

Me, too. If you are truly interested in learning, asking questions is the only way.

The only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

Sure, as long as you asked it before an innocent animal was caused unnecessary suffering, just because it is your "right" to own it.

There is enough easily accessible information available, on the net and in books and from mentors, that the idiocy of posters on here concerning animal welfare is either malicious, or posted by people who should not own cattle.

Lots of hobbyists in here support the "learn as you go" program with cattle. I suspect people who rely on cattle for a living would like to see something better.

Life is what it is. Don't let it make you bitter when it doesn't conform to your ideals.

Is the learn as you go with livestock any different then the learn as you go raising kids?

I have to agree with you to a certain extent, dangit! I think, however, it is easy enough to know who is actually concerned about causing an animal needless suffering by the way the question is asked. I have been guilty of going off on someone because I couldn't believe what I was reading, to then find out that there was a bit more to the story.

I try very hard not to do that anymore...and I try very hard to realize that there's not a crying thing I can do about someone mistreating their animals with good, albeit misguided, intentions. At that point all that can be done is try to explain to them where they are going wrong and hope they can decide that maybe they weren't cut out for taking care of livestock, or they can decide that they need to do a bit more research before making any more attempts at it.

There only 3 names on the post.

And raising kids is left to rank beginners, at least for the first one. Generally subsequent kid are raised somewhat differently then the first. OJT at it's finest.
