Tom Field-associatte prof of animal science at Colorado State in the May, 1997 Canadian Hereford Digest on why we need to garantee seedstock 100%.
"You know what a 99 percent garantee equates to. Two unsafe landings a wek at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, 20,000 incorrect drug prescriptions per year, 500 bungled surgeries per year, 50 newborn babies dropped at birth every day and 22,000 cheques deducted from the wrong account every hour. It really isn't good enough-100% has to be the goal."
I liked this quote the most though!!
"The biggest myth in the seedstock business is that the commercial cow/calf producer is too dumb to know what genetics he wants and needs, therefore, seedstock producers must lead the way."
