All this conspiracy talk reminds me of a movie, any takers? You know how many helicopters  have been lost in Vietnam?  About three thousand so far.  Who makes them?  Bell Helicopter.  Who owns Bell?  Bell was near bankruptcy when the First National Bank of Boston        approached the CIA...

is the correlation bewteen calf cost and eventual champion always true?

the claim idea is STUPIEST thing I  have ever heard of on this board--this is kid based project!!!! Horse racing is ENTERTAINMENT, not something kids need to be involved with. If you want do something constructive, teach the kids something. It will reward them later.

who's paying you for tenderness? the packer sure isnt.

I doubt people "living in gods country" spend this kind of money

Your cornstalks can have effects on cows. I would sample your stalks and send samples off to Romer labs in MO. They test for mycotoxins.   Alternating between these feeds would have little effect on rumen microbial population. Now if you were feeding corn instead of DDGS, that would be another...

a sire's actual bw has little bearing on  calving-ease

you could get rid of the classifying by running all the breeds together like other majors do

I have seen lots of cornstalks loaded with zearealone and vomitoxin

you had the perfect pet, one that doesn't S#$@!
