Since you brought it up...by the same token, it's why I just won't borrow anything any more. If it breaks, I have to replace it or fix it, or pay to fix it, usually pretty expensive, and when all is said and done, and I still won't have that piece of equipment. My neighbor is wanting to drop his Kubota mini excavator off here so I can use it to put in a 24" pipe drain, ( a new drain on my property will help keep normal localized rain water off his property) and I won't accept that...for my part, it's better for me to just pay him to do it.

Now that is looking at the glass and calling it half empty. I don't like to borrow anything either, but when someone makes an offer I don't think they are wanting me to have to pay for repairs. I appreciate that they are willing to allow me to use something they spent their hard earned dollars on. I may not take them up on it but I still appreciate the offer. I refuse to go through life thinking everyone is out to take advantage of me.
I still believe in do unto others as you would have them do unto you, that has served me well over the years.

I believe the dollar drives people more than anything else. I've never seen 'true good' in people, maybe a few.. very few. Most people that have earned my 'trust' have screwed me over one way or the other. everyone can help themselves for all I'm concerned.. no one goes out of there way for me.. they only go out of there way to screw someone over, or to make a quick buck.
btw.. i've never screwed anyone or did wrong to anyone. I do treat people how I want to be treated.. But people do not treat me like that. I just have one of those faces I guess.
i don't surround myself with anyone. I try to keep to myself. I haven't been around very many successful people .. maybe some who portray to be successful, but in reality they are paycheck poor. The ones who do actually have something they were given it / left it by daddy/grandaddy. I'm in the top 1% for networth and I find being young and owning a lot of assets has driven people to be really jealous. The few who don't have the jealousy bug only want to be 'buddies' because they want something.. to use my land to hunt or whatever. I'm not looking for friends.littletom":3dssx00m said:I was told a long time ago. You become the people you surround your self with.

In that case don't buy him.ddd75":3kjsj01h said:pdfangus":3kjsj01h said:an admission that even through all the hype.....they don't know which ones are the good ones....
normally though collection is done at the convenience of the bull buyer and not the convenience of the seller.
I agree.. they should know if they are selling!
It says in this sale they have the right to come collect the bull at their expense out of your pasture, at your convenience. Seems to me I bought the bull, I don't need someone taking him because he turned out really good..
Ebenezer":vgbdhzww said:Sort of a backdoor sales gimmick: "All of our bulls are so good that they might be famous AI sires in the future" is implied. Not worth an extra dime.
Dead on. When the EPDs describe the average calf of a sire in unproven sons and sale bulls do not have a stabilized genetic base, it's whichever one gets the fairy dust with their gene combinations at conception. A roll of the dice.an admission that even through all the hype.....they don't know which ones are the good ones....
What I have learned to dislike more is the omission of either DOC scores in herds with problems or lack of defect info for herds which have a possibility to sell you a carrier. Buyer beware.

I hate that for you. Having good farmer friends has helped us all be better bouncing ideas off each other and comparing notes. Top 1% of what Ohio, the u.s. or world? Sounds like a tool measuring contestddd75":1jtwrb5l said:i don't surround myself with anyone. I try to keep to myself.
