[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1851232, member: 24565"] People buy into registered animals and their recent investment makes them the newest sage of the subject sitting up on the mountaintop. The more they spend, the higher the instant IQ. I just discussed a historic Angus herd with a guy who was mad that folks with long term experiences and firsthand knowledge of problems were not in lockstep on his thoughts of his new and major investments. I just told the truth and moved on. He likely put a red X by my name, too. That's fine - I was honest. Give him the classic 7 years of a purebred breeder and he will be dispersing with a thinner wallet and chasing another fantasy. Part of the problem for this is the "guru mentality". They find a charming and persuasive guru/expert who is gifted in sales and self-promotion. He sells them the start and keeps them on the hook. It helps to be able to learn and reason independently. But that is not as easy to believe as the quick and expensive "happily ever after" sales. [/QUOTE]
