I totally agree. When they have some money, ranchers and farmer do
spend it. Many times they can invest in something needed to offset
some income tax and show me one rancher/farmer that can't use something
to make their workload easier.
I still haven't figured out how a $30,000 bull makes the workload easier :???: :wink: ....Either I'd have to move him into my bedroom at night or build him an insulated room in the barn so not to worry about his vitals getting froze in our "Little Siberia" weather-- and then I'd still worry that he'd get a leg broke by another one with the first cow he tried to jump ...
But I'd guess bulls at that price don't ever have to worry about living in the real cattle world !!
You know comments like this really bother me OT. You probably don't realize it, but you are bashing seedstock breeders who work at improving their herd, and in this instance you are bashing me. Our program has purchased a $30,000 bull in the past and last spring a $22,500 bull. The first bull ran with cows at our ranch until he was 6 and injured a hip and then got sent down to TX where winters are a little easier on him and he lived there for a couple more years breeding cows. The other bull ran with 53 cows this summer as a yearling. So don't sit there and tell me that high dollar bulls don't work in the real world as I am proof that some do!
