Looking damn good if you ask me, but I might be a little prejudiced. May 2006.
He also had just sent over 100 of them to slaughter and had the kill sheets on them. It was interesting looking at them. The majority of the information is beyond me, and the guy bought them too, but I did note that about half of them rated choice and half rated select and there was no " bad ones". The buyer was real happy with all of this so it must be pretty good. Not being in that end of the business I don't know.
He also went around and looked at all the calves in the hills. I was a little busy with My Uncle's funeral so I couldn't go but he said they were looking really good. If you ask me that is expressing an interest in the calves for another year. I hope so. I would like nothing better than to find a buyer I can work with every year. It makes life a lot easier and you can work up a long term relationship with somebody. That's important if you ask me.
The buyer was really impressed with the few red colored ones in the bunch. He claimed they did a lot better than the others. I think with their color they just stand out more. The are the same breeding as the black ones so how they "do so much better" is beyond me. May 2006
Hopefully he will make an offer on them. We will see.
Every relationship between two individuals or two groups will be characterized by the ratio of secrecy that is involved in it. Georg Simmel
