some time ago i spoke to macon and we were discussing breeds of cattle and tests performed on these different breeds.
macon made the statement to me that any test performed on any breed would tend to be biased towards the breed that was having the testing done as the one that was being paid to do the testing would not want to cut off the hand that feeds them. its a shame people cant be happy with the truth but want distorted facts
if i were looking for a paticular breed to get into i would do the following i would visit farms or ranches of the breed i was interested in and look at calves as they hit the ground and watch them grow
i would watch the feeding practices of the breeder and see if he had to supplment feed every day to make his cattle look like they do.
i would visit more than one breeder to see if he was acheiving the same results in like circumstances and i would not visit pals of each other who have the same breed as birds of a feather tend to flock together. for the record there are a lot of breeders that will sell you a pig in a poke and laugh all the way to the bank to their selves and their freinds
the last place i would visit would be a fair or livestock show to form an opinion of any breed as the animals you will see their are dolled up like someone going out to a party. they dye the hair of the animal and shine it up and they cut the hair and fluff it up in the voided spots.
i am of the opinion that all breeds should be shown in their natural form. this is my feeling only. when i have had the opportunity to speak to my son or others about looking for a wife or husband i would tell them to look at the mother of the one they were dating in most cases you will see what your future wife will look like a few years latter. also dont look for the best looking girl as some one will allways be trying to take her from you or conquer her i will take a woman with principles and a good heart any day over a beauty queen
so show me that cow out in the feild with her calf or the bull and his calves
and concerning buying that pig in a poke there is now dna testing available by stormont labs and others so you can be sure that the animal you are buying is from a certain dam or sire dont shell out your hard earned bucks or borrowed money without verifying genetics and for sure get any thing in writing as a lot of breeders memories are as short as their private parts.
think of it like this i heard a guy say one time he never went out with an ugly woman but he had woke up next to a lot of them! their painted faces were smeared the next morning and their wigs had been removed. if i wanted to see the truth about a certain breed or animal i would do the following.
say the breeder you are visiting has a ten year old cow ask where the animals that she has produced are if they are close enough go look at them i would for sure want to call the people that had purchased animals from any breeder to see if things were like the breeder was portrying them to be
look on the breeds web site for the animals that were produced from a certain dam or sire. a good breed association will have these records available online for one to view
my dad was an alcoholic he said beleive nothing you hear and only half what you see its a shame that most breeders or producers jump on a breeds band wagon beacause of what they have been told rather than what they have seen and then when they find they have been dooped they want to recover their losses by passing on their bad decissions on to someone else. its a pretty vicious cycle.
HERE IS SOME FOOD FOR YOUR SOUL THAT WILL HELP YOU MAKE IT THROUGH LIFE AND INTO ETERNITY!
remember GOD CREATED eve for adam and not steve for adam and by the same thinking he did not create woman for woman. woman was created for man.
and if we all lived by GODS priciples one could take a cattleman at his word we could even have faith in a politician and take him or her at their word.
:help: go out and help someone make it a better day and through life and into eternal life.
