Yours are black, I wanted red...
Yours are red, I wanted black...
Yours are heifers, I wanted steers...
Yours are steers, I wanted heifers...
Yours are loose hided...
Yours are not aged enough...
Yours are too lean...
Yours are too fat...
Yours are too large of a frame...
Yours are too small of a frame...
Yours are too full bodied...
Yours are not high quality....
.... you get the point yet?
I went last night to the fat sale, as it was running quite late, so I had the opportunity to learn some more.... and I try to sit next to a buyer willing to talk.... After talking a bit, we'd talk when holsteins were in the ring, then when some coloreds came in.... all I had to ask was... "And what is wrong with this bunch"... and he had an answer... see above.
I could not get an answer if I asked the question.. "What do you like with this bunch?" .. just a smile...
Is this something in the cattle buying classes that is taught? Never say anything nice, pick out the bad, whatever you can so you can implement the big "D" word? (Dock)
So frustrated sometimes...because I just feel like whatever I do, will be wrong, or I should say.. not all the way right...DOCK..... UGH!
