Pete
I like your article that you just posted on your blog, I only wish that when the “Fluffy Cows” sensation took off that the large media groups would have offered the graphic that you did at the end of your passage. While it’s not sensible to worry excessively over what next the animals activists will do to trip up the meat industry, I still do believe it’s fuel for their fire. I enjoy the club calf industry, maybe not to the extent as others, but it has its place and we like to have fun trying to make a few good and sound clubbies every year. But the way it has been portrayed amongst the media is that these animals are cute pets. Now I don’t believe for one bit that the original proponents of Fluffy Cows intended the media to put a cute innocent face on our food, but I believe that the media may have done just that. I just hope that more people like yourself use it as an educational opportunity, much in the way that you did.
While on the topic of educating, what commercial cattleman often don’t realize, but should, is that the show cattle genetics are what often sway the genetic pool of the seed stock herds, which ultimately trickle down to commercial cattlemen buying bulls and replacement females. Now one could argue that certain clubbies have no place in a commercial PROFITABLE cowherd, but I would say the same can be said about some of the most used Angus, Gelbvieh or any other breed’s sires. One thing is for certain, if there are actually two sides adamantly against one another on this issue they should forget about it, because there far are too many groups out there that would like to see them both perish.
Just my thoughts Pete, and good luck with those Chopper embryos, I’m sure they’ll be all females, because we never get any ET heifers.
Thanks,
