[QUOTE="mind235, post: 448077, member: 6754"] I like him. I want to make a small point here let me get my flame retarded suit on firts!! These boards I would estimate that for every person who has been doing this for years and full of answers there are 500 guys/gals that are running 10-25 head in their 50 acres. Seems like sometimes the qustions are answered for someone who runs 500 head and are on some program and has all the support they need. I won't breed junk but nor will I be paying 5 grand for a bull either, So point I guess I am trying to make is the majority of the people ask for help are just looking for some advice that works for them. I wish and am sure there are many more of us would love to have 500 head and everything. Heck I don't even have a sqeeze shoot nor a lot of thiings I need since toook what was left to use on an old farm. My pastures are marginal, the hay is marginal, equipment is also marginable but the effort to rotate pastures each week and making sure they are getting hay supliments. Our herd of 25 are doing just fine we breed them to the best Black angus within 50 miles each year. I took 11 feeders and what was going to be my herd sire to a sale yesterday. The stupid bull didn't care about the electric fence when there was a field of alfalfa next to it. I could not believe the crap that came through the sale. I know the owner and she told me our feeders brought the highest prices , I was late getting there and missed most of mine. Note the prices were terrible and today I called two others I know and they said prices fell right out at their sales as well. So try to keep in mind that when some of us ask for advice we are looking for a general overall opinion not picking at any little thing I think most are asking "will it be ok to put this bull on my gals". Do appreciate the advice eveyone gives just sometimes I get more confused when someone answers a question than before. I have read Storey's guide to raising beef cattle good book for those of you like me with a small herd. [/QUOTE]
