Wow :lol: :lol: :lol:

For the heck of it I clicked on to the classified horse section of this forum http://www.ranchers.net/classifieds.htm. I only read the first 5 ads. These horses were priced at $5000, $15000, $5000, $8500 and $8500. Gives me the impression that some people must be doing things different than others.

When I got rid of my ego, my horsemanship improved :lol:

That just goes to show that plenty of the wrong kind of miles and lots of wet saddle blankits from somebody who doesnt understand what needs to be done is not the answer. Im not saying this to put anybody down. Im not picking. Im just trying to help although I have a gut feeling that you dont...

Man that would be so simple to train out of a horse. Its just a trust/respect issue. IMO that guy should really get some help with basic horsemanship.

Faster Horses thats exactly what im trying to say. Like there are people who just set back and make big money off their breeding program without training, promoteing etc. What a lot of people dont realise is that they never started like that. Chances are that they went out and got a yearling...

Im just having my morning xcoffee. Got no sleep last night so I hope the following makes sense. One breeder got divorced, the other outfit moved to SK. I thought the third was out of the horse business because they sold their stud and a lot of their broodmares. The people that where buying their...

Its in a large corral with its momma waiting for the owner to trailer them out of here. I cant really get close to it unless I roped it but the way its running around I would think its all better :-)

Mrs Greg So how are those people training, showing or promoteing their horses? If they are just breeding good horses, its not enough.Why look at people who are not making a go of it for ideas? Why not look at the ones who are doing very well at it? Why can some make a go of it while others...

Before 1950 can you name many people making a full time living training or showing? There were a few but nothing like today. Every year the industry just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Look what the average non pro spends today on books, videos, clinics, tack, etc. compared to years ago. There...

Why? The "real"horse industry in North America is stronger than in any other time in history. There is now way more money in horses than at any other time and its not because of Claude Boverie.

So with the shorthorn your getting better quality meat than with an angus? Im just a laymen but I honestly cant tell any difference between hereford or black angus as far as the quality of the meat. To me the both taste great.

Was riding this weekend with a guy who raises Red Angus. He claimed that over the last 4 years he has even been taking a hide discount. Said his average prices where better than herefords though. So if im hearing you guys right your claiming it takes less feed to grow a hereford than an angus...

Its funny how nobody talks or seems intersested about horses much on here unless its about killing them. Im a member of the AQHA and they never asked me my oppinion. To me horses are not pets or livestock. They are business partners and employees.

If he needs special gear to find the hole maybe it would be better if he didnt pass on his DNA?

Old timers tell me that years ago a lot of people ran shorthorns in southern AB. Everybody says they were great cows. Nobody can tell me<around here> why they dont run them anymore. Really I get the impression that a lot of outfits tend to run whatever type of cows everybody else is running just...

How about all 4 of us go to Californios? They wont know us down there so it wont matter how we look :lol:
