[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1603007, member: 24816"] Thank you Jeanne. I don’t think that BR was out to truly “slam” commercial producers, I just picked up on a couple lines in his post that I disagreed with in terms of the context. Had those few words not been in the post I would have agreed whole heartedly, maybe even liked the post and moved on without commenting at all. You are correct I think that there is a wide range of outfits purebred and commercial, and a lot of overlap between in terms of management. I am in the commercial end now but have been in registered cattle circles for several years as well across several breeds. I have witnessed some registered breeders make ridiculous statements such as they wouldn’t sell to a commercial person even heard someone say they hated them. I thought at the time what a bunch of idiots because all of my customer base was commercial folks that I truly enjoyed meeting and talking cattle with. I learned a lot from some of those commercial folks. The registered folks that I was close to and around the most appreciated their commercial customers and realized with out them they would not be in business. Also in regards to record keeping, most commercial operations keep records as well. With prices at the points they have been for years it is necessary to know what is going on. I would venture to say record keeping is as vital to a commercial farm as it is to a registered. Those records are the real EPD’s and ratios in each farm for their environment, and it’s a high stakes serious business with no room for margins of error. [/QUOTE]
