I have been kicking around the idea of posting this, for fear of opening up a can of worms, but here goes...
I know we all have people in the cattle business who have helped us endlessly and have truly done a lot to get us where we are today. This can be a parent or other family member, a fellow breeder, etc. I just think it would be neat to give these people some credit where it is due.
PLEASE LETS NOT TURN THIS INTO A "BASH" SESSION!!! WE ALL WILL PROBABLY HAE DIFFERENT VIEWS OF CERTAIN PEOPLE, BUT LETS TRY TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE AND RESPECT OPINIONS OF OTHERS, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT PERSONALLY AGREE. I WOULD BE SCARED TO DEATH TO POST THIS ON SOME OTHER BOARDS, BUT I THINK WE CAN HANDLE IT HERE ON THE PLANET.
I will start with mine...
1) My dad - other than his grandfather having some old hereford cows many years back, he had no real experience with cattle, but when I decided to start raising and showing cattle he jumped right on board with me and we are now partners in the farm. He has helped me with so much and has developed a true passion for the indiustry and has become one of many who can truly talk cattle for hours.
2) Brad Linden/Generations Farm Shorthorns - Basically my 2nd dad, this guy has done so much for me i could go on and on for hours about what a great person he is, in the cattle industry and as a wonderful person in general
3) Malinda Wells/ Eastern Sky Farm - Although I have not purchased anything from Malinda yet, I have found a true friend in her. She is one of the great people in the industry, she may not have the most cows, but what she has she truly prides herself in. I have spent hours on the phone with her talking about all parts of the industry.
4) Jamie Bond/R&R Cattle Co. - Wonderful guy who has done everything he can to help me out with purchases we have made from him
5) Brian and all the other Cates' - What more can I say, customer service is truly their passion and they do take care of their customers.
All of these people have helped me to get where I am at today and strive to become more successful. Thanks for everything you have done!!! (clapping) (clapping) (clapping)
