Not A Good Day

[SHAWN]

Hey Bud, that SUCKS!! Sorry to hear that news........ Shawn

 

[3words]

The semen in the tank is the only insurance I ever carry. We still haven't had any rain this spring-I'm missing those two loads of cows I sold less and less as the days go by.

With all the snow you had there this winter,is it dry there,or not to bad yet?We finally got a 1/2 inch of rain this past weekend,that was the first moisture we have got since the snow left.We needed that bad.

 

[Northern Rancher]

We got our first rain of the spring tonite a little thunder shower.

The loss is tough :x but as long as you have a son and semen you will just have to go to the old Line 1 philosophy that all good bulls will raise a son that is better. :???:

I just read this, boy that is a bummer!!! First thing Mike said was "and we don't have a bull calf"

 

[Northern Rancher]

I know where there's a couple good ones-Genex has lots of semen put up thank goodness or I'd be really bummed out.

 

[Shelly]

Sorry about your bull, NR. I just can't believe you wouldn't had insurance on him. We always carried insurance on ours, had to collect twice, and have never had a problem. They settled up quite fast.

Did you get any rain out of those big storms that came through your area last night? Sure looked nasty by what I seen on the radar.

 

[Northern Rancher]

Maybe a tenth-like I said my insurance is in the A'I tank.

 

[Big Muddy rancher]

Doesn't the price of semen go up after the bull dies? :???:

Sorta like fine art. :wink:

 

[Northern Rancher]

On some bulls-I'm not really banking on getting rich off Lad's untimely demise-but who knows. There's quite a bit of semen left on him.

 

[Doug Thorson]

The thing about insurance on a bull is that insurance companies NEVER consistently lose money. The only time insurance pays more than it takes in premium is when the government subsidises the companies.
