    And without a doubt Randy selling is the name of the game in no matter what business you are in and "BS" is just part of the public relations involved? And by "BS" I don't mean misrepresnting the facts or anything like that...just putting the best spin on things!
    And I do agree with you that every breed has its place and what is popular today, might not be tommorrow and visa versa?
    I also believe the old purebred game can be a very enjoyable life and without a doubt you are always engaged in it and you meet and get to interact with a ton of people from all over the place.
    Eventually the beef industry will be "chickenized"...but not today! So enjoy your days just like the old Blackfoot Indians did before the buffalo were gone!

      Just call me Sitting Bull cowman.....

      I love that "BS" thing you came up with. Best Spin - you're a thinker cowman.

        BS might be the tool to make a sale in the first place but repeat customers are ones who like the product, believe in the program and feel they have been well treated and their support is appreciated.

          Exactly emerald. And within you see the trends of business.

          For example, I know that if I were a bit less brass I could satisfy the needs of Mr. Wilson's ranch. Best spin to start and then confidence that my bulls would work in his situation.

          However, that spin part has not always been my best feature. At times sheer honesty and guns from the hip can hold back that initial sale, but in the long run ------

          15 years in this purebred business, and I now know that continuing to raise bulls like Ketchup and treating my cutomers right will give me a business until I decide to retire.

              Not quite yet emerald. Setting some feed in today and filling the propane tank on my 12 foot motorhome. 150 cows come home for calving on the weekend. Wish I had a laptop to keep up on the news, but hey two months --- what could happen in two months.

                glad you have the cows home randy, would hate for you to forget which end to check in calving time !!! Hope you have good luck with calving, and that everything turns to gold on the new place.
                You work hard for the industry and as a producer I appreciate it, even though I don't raise the same breed of cattle.We all are in this business together.
