Soapweed may have fine calves but looking at them doesn't tell me anything about his conception rates or whether he would get more or less bred by running fewer bulls.leanin' H said:..... Soapweed is prime example as he runs commercial bulls and more of them as he gets a better deal than buying blooded bulls! Look at his calves and show me where he has screwed up!
leanin' H said:Sure just looking at calves doesn't tell ya conception rates. My point is that a cows job is to put a soggy calf in the weaned pen each fall and to breed back quickly. Both of the above are hard to do without bulls! I'd imagine that if anyone was hauling truck loads of open cows to the salebarn they'd change something! Sorry Soapweed, didnt mean to drag you into something! :wink: Maybe Soap only gets half his cows to settle each year and he's really good at hiding it! :wink:
