[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 550182, member: 5898"] It would be interesting to give two young ranchers each a million bucks and tell them to have at it-one can ranch as 'modern' as possible and one can do it the old ways. I wonder who'd have his million plus some extra in a few years. The real bargains in the A'I business are the old proven bulls with a few hundred or thousand daughters out there-once they start heading to the back of the catalogue the sharper commercial and some purebred outfits pit in and use them hard. You can make good money in the cattle business without alot of tech-can all your cows that aren't wet at branding-ear notch any heifer calf whose mother you don't like-sort off your sorry calves then ship their mothers when they come up to bawl. If you want 1200 pound cows balance your ration to that weight and run your cows together-the welfare cases will weed themselves out. What we could really use is a 'COMMON SENSE' e.p.d for purebred outfits. We sell on a carcass grid and do very well but I don't worry too much about carcass E.P.D's you can pee away alot of money trying to improve one trait by 5 percent. [/QUOTE]
