One of our home raised herdsires that i ruined by doing everything wrong during his development (according to Twitter experts). He sure seems to be doing fine as breeding is winding down.

Good post. Applies to almost all leadership positions. You don't need to be the best at every role but you better understand it enough to have an intelligent conversation and be able to detect bullshit when you hear it.

This is close. I think you need to be the leader of your business.
Being a good leader is surrounding yourself with people who are smarter at subjects than you. BUT you better know enough about all the subjects to still lead.
My book keeper knows more about Quickbooks than me, but I know enough about my financials to know if they're accurate.
My CPA certainly knows more about taxes than me. But I darn sure put him through the ringer with questions, make him run scenerios, and make him start projections in June so I have ample time to plan.
It's a team. You're the head coach. Lead.

If you're gonna screw up, at least make them wonder how you managed to do it. 🤦♂️

One of our junior herdsires posing. SLCC RIGHT TIME 1M is a direct son of the legend Leachman Right Time. On the cow side he has some of the most proven genetics the Youngdale Angus program has to offer. We are excited for the influence 1M will have on our herd.

The last lim-flex available by private treaty is a good one. Only 11 months old, he's heifer safe, homo polled, and out of our best Lim-Flex cow. Open to offers. He's going to make someone very happy this spring.

No matter what song, no matter how much you like it, no matter how fun and enjoyable it is, if you use it as your alarm during calving season, you will absolutely despise it by the end of calving season. That's a fact.

NYK BRAVO 11N is a highlight of the "sleep at night" calving ease division. Low bw, double digit calving ease, great feet and docility. If you have some heifers to breed and don't feel like dealing with calving issues, he's the man for the job.

In the weather, getting the machinery going counts as a win.
