I was very disappointed to read Roy’s article in a cattle magazine a few months back. He basically ripped grain farmers from one end to the other. The article was poorly written and quite ignorant. Roy made his living off of mixed farmers in our area (in fact got rich of off them). And good for Roy, he is a successful business man. But to write what he did was absolutely ignorant. Grain farmers and ranchers are both in the agriculture industry trying there damnedest to make ends meet. Why does one group feel the need to attack the other? I never did get it.

Roy's will be Roy's.
My apologies to all the other Roy's out there. -
Roy has never let facts ruin a good story-I worked the block at a sale he was auctioneering-he's a funny guy but a brutal auctioneer.Comment

In Roy's defense...trying to be the auctioneer at a Hereford sale could make anyone look brutal.Comment

I don't care what anyone says- that is funny....LOL
And this coming from someone that still has a couple purebred hereford cows left that I bought a trailer load of 98 models...This was because they were $300 cheaper than the angus heifers I bought the same year and I thought I could breed them to good angus bulls and make good black baldy cows out of-- but most have culled themselves by prolapse and cancer eyes or not enough milk....
That may be the true definition of frustration- "an auctioneer at a hereford sale"....LOLComment

I laughed. Thank you for that humor Willow. Also thought yours was quite humerous Wilson, not letting facts ruin a good story! We should all take a turn at that once in awhile! Some of us do most days! Have a good day all!Comment

whiteface-- I grew up with Herefords and the cross we bred back to every few years back then was shorthorn-- loved those old roany cows..Then in the early 50's Dad bought some angus bulls (almost was run out of the country by some neighbors for such a farcical idea at that time)...And now about everything around here is black- seldom see a Hereford...And down here good Shorthornbulls are about impossible to find anymore- not even sure if anyone raises them in the state...
I still have a weak spot in my heart for the old Herefords- but I found the cattle buyers down here aren't near as color blind as those up north-- if its red its $5cwt less, hereford makes it $10-15 less, and if its a roan its about half price.....Gotta be longhorn...Comment

pee brain - I think we should all reply to the new WillowKreek that way from now on. Then we wouldn't get him mixed up with leaf brain, that other Montana Tree.
What are you doing up at that time of day Mr. Wilson. Late Hockey somewhere?
I have an excuse for this 5 am post. cowman tracked me down and called looking to buy one of my bulls today at our sale, just before he went off to work to pay the hay bill for his big old cows. LOL
Have a great day all - and whiteyComment
