Let me clarify a little bit what I meant yesterday when I said I didn't totally disagree that the dairy industry was partially to blame. I milked cows for 33 years before I went to beef,so I don't necessarily blame dairy farmers. I never wanted to have to destroy a cow and burry her then any more than I want to now. Who I do blame is the purebred dairy cattle industry. The breed associations,the universities,purebred breeders...take your pick. You don't notice it until you get away from it and look from the outside,but those are NOT hearty animals. They seem to be bred entirely with one thing in mind. Milk production. They seem to forget balance. Those are living breathing animals,not milk making machines. As proof,I would mention that one of the top Holstein AI bulls,they found out just a year or so ago,had a heck of a high mortality rate for his calves. The ones that survived would milk like crazy,but they had to survive.The problem was a genetic defect. When you get used to looking at beef cows,then look at those big bagged,boney,hobbling Holsteins,it opens your eyes.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
