    Jaysus one way to insult a mans stock

    I dont think it was ever meant as an insult. We shouldn't go around thinking that all our geese are swans. I rather have an honest assessment of my stock rather than everybody telling me I'm a great lad. constructive criticism never did anybody any harm.

    Surely there is a better to way to tell a man you don't like his stock.

    Ah God, seems a few lads are gone v sensitive! l asked a question, note the question mark?

    l'm no expert in judging cattle and would know little about BB. I said what l thought, then asked what other people thought!

    Believe me l've plenty of cattle that wouldn't be the best quality, also have a few crackers. I wouldn't be one bit insulted with a lad judging them and given his opinion. The truth always comes out on sale day anyways so no point in being delusional!!

    Again that was a general comment, applies to us all as stockmen, not pointed directly at yourself.

    I was the only one to comment on the calf. Only my opinion. What's the point sticking up photos if can't discuss them? l'm still learning about what makes a good beast and what are potential flaws. I will listen to your appraisal of her if you have one.

    God you'd swear we were giving lads wives marks out of ten. It's nothing personal!!

    I like her a lot. Would you not go for a safer option for the first calf? No easy PT available for the commercial man at the moment and BA bit harsh IMO

    Well if you have the bourvil straw and have no pedigrees to put it in fire away! He's handy enough.

    Not a good one this time, one of the best calfs I had last spring, spent nearly a week stomach tubing him. Got pneumonia then when I weaned him and when I got him over that hump got a right doing with coccidiosis. I'm fully convinced all he wants to do is die. I'm sure most people have had one like him at some stage. AB74C4C8-DAF2-4544-AA06-AF930238315D_zpsuvdaj0gi.jpg And an August born Fiston bull calf that I'm not one bit struck on either. Feel free to cut the hole of these lads, I won't be one bit insulted! F02B7ED6-5CE0-4D2C-9C5A-E406EA2D030D_zpsoowhcb3y.jpg
