If I were giving out BS breeder awards he'd be right
up there with the Leachmans. He does seem to
polarize people - It's the unattractive mixture of
using religion to sell cattle while at the same time
sending threatening personal emails to anyone that
dares criticize his program on the internet that
turns me off the most.
Some of his economic stuff is good - I like the low
cost ranching model, always did long before I had
heard of Kit. Profitable and efficient cows come in
more than one size and type as far as I can see.
I'm not clear what you mean - "At the end of the day
you must select an system for your cattle to work
under and then let the system select the most
profitable cattle. Then you need to set that type."
Why do you need the last sentence?
If you let the system select the most profitable cattle
won't that be your type? I'd be real careful setting
out to try and set that perceived "best type" -
especially if it involves using small framed, heavy
fleshed bulls. If you want to experiment with the
concept try using the OCC Angus cattle.
If you want to talk cattle genetics with some really
knowledgeable guys with a different perspective
head over to Keeney's Corner (keeneyscorner.com)
I've learnt more in a couple of years there than in
my lifetime up until now.
