[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 4045790, member: 70596"] I believe the guys I work for have met him several times. What did you think of his cows and place overall? Did it look like he was walking the walk in addition to talking the talk? Isn't he somewhere in the 8000lb range? What was his average DIM? As far as the replacements go, a lot of it is out of my control. I won't say anything on this forum that I wouldn't say in person to my employers. The first day I showed up here I told him his heifers looked like sh!t. They still look like sh!t, no two ways about it. The ones that will calve next year look ok. The ones I am in charge of raising right now, this years calves, look ok. Nothing to write home about, but they are improving. It seems to me that they do ok till their first winter. Then, in my opinion, there is a lack of quality Forage that is not compensated for by feeding more concentrate. I don't claim to know it all, but I do know how to raise a heifer that will breed and milk. To say I and my employers have a difference in opinion on what a good heifer is, would be an understatement. [/QUOTE]
