I think we can fix a lot of what the calf is by what we breed 'em to.
And so we see a lot of people getting so hung up on a color of a cow
When in fact what we're trying to worry about is the color of the calf we're marketing.
And so I think that's another one that just pops to mind.
I think undervalued sometimes I think disposition kind of falls into that.
We'll tolerate some cows because they are productive.
But they are very disruptive to gathers or dangerous when you get 'em in the pen.
And I think that's where I make draw the line on those cows.
I don't mind one that's a little flighty as long as they don't disrupt everything and they're not dangerous.
And so safety becomes that key.
If they're a danger to anybody on the operation, then they need to go.
I don't mind one that's got a little shorter fuse or tr that gets a little stirred up every once in a while as long as they are manageable, I guess is the way to look at it.
Some other things that I think we don't pay enough attention to sometimes in the beef cow side of it is utter quality, teeth and size and quality and structure.
These old cows that get mastitis or have a quarter or two that a calf has trouble nursing when they're first born, all of those things need to be paid attention to.
But I'm kind of a nut on utter
Quality and structure.
Just because I'm not milking a cow out.
I see people that will get cows up and m milk 'em down to where the calf can get a hold of a teeth and I don't have the opportunity to do that nor the desire to do that.
So I've got to do that from a management standpoint.
Yeah.
