[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 829419, member: 1683"] Dylan- You must be a mind reader! I have been contemplating writing a paper, or treatise if you will, on this subject for several months. About a month ago I answered some questions for a breeder with whom I have been discussing this very subject, and started getting my thoughts together for a [i]logical and reasonable[/i] approach to these discussion points - and have come to the conclusion that the subject material is extremely controversial - made more so because of the diversity of [b][i]breed characteristics[/i][/b] involved. As a result, no matter what conclusions on which one settles, you are going to get a raft of disputes and argumentations - and justifiably so! Now that you have stirred my juices and gotten me off the dime, I will gather the material that I have so zealously stacked on the corner of my credenza, ignore Ruthie's accusatory stares regarding the "jumble of stuff" (as she refers to it!) , and try to make sense of my thoughts of same. It could easily become a 'textbook' of "How TO - OR - How NOT To", and I resist that tendency with a passion, because each Producer has his own agenda and prospectus for his operation, and that is the way it should be. These thoughts will be my personal points of view, I don't propose to augur or prophesy omens, and I don't have an ax to grind, with the exception of the fact that I am [b][i][u]adamently[/u][/i][/b] apposed to [i]any[/i] cattle breeder practicing "Single Trait Selection" choices in their Beef Cattle Breeding BU$INE$$! For [b][i]THEIR[/i][/b] benefit! Inasmuch as I am a "Type "A" Personality, and attempt to avoid becoming overly involved in any project that 'waves a red flag' in front of my eyes, this will require some manner of time to put together, so please have some patience and I will get back with you in a day or so. Of course, the NBA Finals begin tomorrow :bang: , and that will interject itself into my time factors as well, but I shall do diligent work to get back to you sooner rather than later! Thank you for seeking my input. I consider it an honor. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
