Breeding the Perfect Bull

[Big Red Barn]

A very well written article about breeding cattle,  cloning, and being a cow-calf producer.

Wonderful article. This is the type of story that "livestock agriculture" needs to get out into the public. This is a story not many people can relate to, even on this board....
If you gave up on the article, it is your loss.
Go back, and fight through the jumbled mess that the internet created out of the article. Paragraphes got misplaced, and not in correct order.

I can see both view points. Revelation was great. But why put your money in the past? Look forward, not backward....  it will be interesting to see what the final chapter truely is!!

We get the magazine and my grandfather said I "had" to read, but I didn't really get it. And I mean by that, the artilce could have been a page long and said the exact same thing. It was very repetetive and had alot of fillers in it. But the guy seemed cool its awsome that they "made" their own breed and then have a successful red angus ranch. JMO

Figured it wasn't for everyone. Just thought I'd share it for those who needed a read. If you have ever listened to a set of reasons, you stop noticing all the filler to get to the details. Maybe I liked the idea of the article and gave it too much credit, to each their own.

I think the writer got confused on whether she was writing a human interest story or an article on the science behind breeding the "perfect bull".  I liked the subject matter but I agree that it was poorly executed.
