Wanted To Breed Texas Longhorns this Year......

Agreed with Patrick, apples aren't being compared to apples here, in fact there seems to be a whole mish-mash. In particular, you simply can't compare profitability of sides of beef marketed direct from the farm with beef produced for the packer. Those of you who have the opportunity to grow and market for an enhanced niche should be congratulated for your efforts and success. I have no doubt you are producing a superior product. But for every farm-marketed side of beef in this country, there are 10,000 going through the packer, and there's no way to compare what you are doing, to the efficiencies required to produce a particular frame and finish for the feed lot or the packer. No matter how you look at it, TIME is an expensive input even if you're content to leave it out of the equation. Those of us who do not have the inclination to direct-market must necessarily look much harder at whether or not our cattle perform in the necessary frame, yield and time window. As for our friend Bulldinkie -- I wish I had one cent for every time you've started a post with "We have Longhorns" in the past ?what's it been? 5 years here? Trust a few of us to remember, eh? The same thing I talked about above holds true for the "value" of the heads, necks and semen of your stock. You CAN'T compare earnings from showing and selling breeding stock to earnings on the rail. A very small percentage of the cattle-raising public own pedigreed breeding stock, even fewer show it. You yourself may sell to other people who want to breed, but in the end, somebody's gotta be buying the cattle for food. Otherwise it's a pyramid scheme. At the packer, your heads, necks and semen are waste. Dog food. Nobody here tried to say that your breeding stock wasn't valuable, just that your stance and reasoning didn't apply. Not apples to apples. And Dink? Go back and read s-l-o-w-l-y what Roxann said. She wasn't making fun of you, wasn't insulting you. She was trying to be friendly, and trying to let you know she thought she remembered things you've talked about in the past that interested her. She was in your corner till you stomped her. Now go ahead and stomp me.

*"My god, is that snow?" (Doing my best impression of PondmaninFL): Is that what that was??? I had no idea!!! Amazingly, that's only 17 miles from Semperville and we didn't see any snow here last week (just some ice). Of course, I thought it was rough out there yesterday until I saw somebody had posted from my mountain bike club from their ride just north of here on Saturday. ___________________________________________________________________ ADEMINKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! My hats off to you for your dedication to a great cause. But I just gotta ask.... who's your friend in that picture in the lower/right corner of ?!?!?!?! 8-))) __________________________________________________________________ Bonz wrote: "I'm sure we'll hear about how the weather was a factor. " I can't imagine! I found it ironic that the Colts, a dome team, managed the crappy weather better than the Bears who play in MUCH, MUCH, MUCH worse weather throughout the season. Go figure! ___________________________________________________________________ Brandy I gotta agree with you.... that guy's left foot WAS out of bounds. Not on the initial catch.... but as he intercepted the ball he then slid his left toes back which appeared to touch the sideline. Inconclusive evidence, I guess. _________________________________________________________________ Chickadeedeedee, you found my one and only soft spot. Maybe it's just me but I can't think of a better way to spend that winning than the USO! :-))) I'll up the ante to $50 on behalf of Camp Nappy Resort & Entertainment Center and Birdie B&B. God bless.

ocbrian--so young, so cute, so innocent, Just as the devil's greatest triumph was convincing the world he didn't exist, Martha's greatest achievement has been convincing the world she is nice. But only if you think Cruella de Vil shopping for a new fur coat is nice. One day the authorities will invade Martha's home and break down the door to the cellar labeled Munchkinland and find whole families of little people forced to toil day and night putting tons of tomatoes through food mills to make marinara sauce for the GIANT meatballs Martha eats withOUT spaghetti. The woman is unnatural. She isn't human. ocbrian, the shadow of darkness has passed over you, but if you remain strong and steadfast, you will prevail. You can beat this. P.S. That reminds me! I must warn Jeri Jennings to lock up the dogs if she ever hears that Martha is coming to town. This post was edited by bellegallica_zone9 on Thu, Jan 24, 13 at 23:52

"The weather is hot, but not super humid. So long as you have a big tree, a swimming pool and working A/C, you'll be fine." Oh, my gosh, I so disagree with this comment. I think Texas is unbearably hot and humid in the summers. I live in Iowa, where we typically experience very hot and humid summers, and Texas, IMHO, is 10 times worst. I made the mistake one summer of visiting my brother--who used to live in Grapevine and is now in Bedford with plans to move to Fort Worth shortly--in July. It was terrible! I vowed never to go back to TX in July and I never have. We went from A/C'ed house to A/C'ed car to A/C'ed store. We were only ever briefly out of the A/C. Of course...all this said...I LOVE going to Texas during an Iowa winter. Nothing like being able to go outside in nothing but shorts and a T-shirt in the middle of December when everyone else back home is shivering in their heavy coats!

Good luck tonight. Sure hope they win the National Championship (well, since UF couldn't). What's happening with your weather? I imagine there are a lot of football parties planned in your area tonight. We'll be watching for sure.

You have your work cut out for you though. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy is awesome! It should be a great game. For those interested, the festivites start at 7:30 on ABC. Lots of $$$ at stake for the winning school, too.

ROLL, TIDE!!!

Okay, call me a traitor, but I sure hope Alabama wins. If Texas does we won't hear the end of it until August, and frankly, I don't care about football at all. God bless 'bama!

Don't have a kid at UT (yet...#4 may go there), but have one at Texas Tech, Texas A&M and The University of Houston, so sometimes we root against the Longhorns...BUT NOT TONIGHT!

GO LONGHORNS!!!

I would like to see Texas win tonight because I have a friend on face book that will NEVER shut up if they win. Plus it goes against my raising to pull for Bama...
