Great poem! I'm surprized you didn't write it!

The post on cows you made reminded me of how I started, buying Broken Mouth Bred cows, giving them good feed and mineral, I usually came out well,
You are on the right track, don't assume people look down on you because of your age. In ranching, people earn respect by thier abilities, regardless of age, as long as they are humble and respectfull,
Might start calling you "Grasshopper", LOL, you are to young to remember that TV Program,
Feel free to PM any of us whenever you have a question, Good Luck!!!!!!!!

I've had little contact with their cattle and don't know much about them, so can't help you much there...

We've got one Reg. cow and that's about all we need for now is just something to produce bulls. She's got one more calf and she' headed to town. She slipped on the ice in a fight and gimps around now so I don't know what she'll be worth. I'll probably just talk to Lee Holtmeir or Tim Ohlde for another one and get a little bit younger model. I'm trying to work and selling picking through our cows for culls right now and then going to buy back some or just flat out buy those BM or SS cows. Who knows what's going to come with it. The investor (dad) always talks big and keeps the wallet shut so who knows what's going to happen. I made them enough money on the last set of cattle that I should be able to get a transaction done on something here.
