Before I rant, let me concede that the kid has a point. Not a great one, but a point. Fact is, this is not some tobacco chewing illuminatti of BIG TIME steer producers exchanging respective judging schedules and alligning bids at their sales.
I will say this. Even though Hook is the only Million Dollar Round Table Member of semen seller/ bull owners that is a known ,active participant, dont think for a second there arent some that read it. And some even post. For some, the anonymity of a forum is an opportunity to play bigshot and degrade others without having to play their own cards. For some it is an opportunity to interact and share in an environment that wouldnt reflect on their real situation.
Fact is I can tell a wannabe Player by what they say on here. It would take an arrogant, misguided, out of the deal the minute Dad cuts em off, no cow owning, Jackelope to make a comment like that on a forum like this.
Why do I think that? Because those that are true cowfolks, whether they are Bob May or Freddy First years grandpa, know that first and foremost this is a youth game that has a great more to do with life lessons and relationships than it does with purple banners, high dollar steers traded, or semen sales. Second of all real cowfolk know everyone starts somewhere.
The point is, this is a wonderful forum with folks from all over with diversity among interests and age groups. The only apparent requirement to membership is that you like cattle. Any young person who may make a statement, or ask a question that would seem basic to some, just may be the one who either is looking to buy a big ticket, or maybe is the one selling a big ticket sometime in the future.
I have actually gotten some helpful feedback when I have asked questions here. Having a DVM answering questions, or one of the most respected embryo dart throwers around is reason enough for a "real cowman" to check in.
For the record, I love the pic. I did a double take when I saw the pic as she is marked exactly like one I have that I guarantee NE couldnt afford. And I doubt mine is better than the one pictured.
