textbook vs real-life with cows

[backhoeboogie]

I have always enjoyed Isomades line at the bottom of his posts. So, I plagerized it and pasted it below. It seems to me this is a fitting way to say the best way is to gain experience but combine it with valuable new knowledge which sometimes comes from books. The two combined with some common sense make all three legs of the milking stool.

Isomades line:
The quickest way to lose money in the cattle business is to do it the way grandpa did it.....and the quickest way to lose everything in the cattle business it to forget the way grandpa did it. (Dad)

The truth hurts sometimes. You can roll the dice. You might hit. You can take the sure thing and possibly make a few nickels and lessen your risk too.

Worse thing that could happen is to jump in to some new venture and succeed. Those are the very folks who lose it all the next year.

Drought is a great equalizer. There are others. Oprah?

Well, there is one thing about the books, and I don't care which one(s) you've read ... in fact, I'll guarantee it, and that is that the cows haven't read that book. :shock:
