Quotes:
“At the end of the day, if the heifers are not cycling, nothing is going to make them cycle. Nothing is going to make them breed. It’s just nature, and it’s got to run its course.” [31:56]“You can’t highlight it enough, understanding what your people are capable of and what your facilities are capable of with your management and time.” [50:54]“Sometimes, we just need to know what our management is capable of or not before deciding a breeding endeavor.” [1:07:04]“We want to work with like-minded people and like-minded breeders.” — Robert [1:38:38]
