Is it normal to feel bursting with pride/happiness?
« on: October 04, 2016, 04:22:36 pm »
As you can read in the title. I found this ad on preloved, by the same guy who bought a small starter herd of heifers and a bull off us a couple of years ago, well here is one of the bull calves out of the animals I sold him. I just feel soooo happy to see the genetics carrying on! :excited:

the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Absolutely.  I look forward to the day I can breed a bull good enough for other people to want to use.

Well done

Brilliant! Really good to see buffaloes for sale!
I really wanted to get them in the past... Sadly don't have enough space for now.

Ah well, maybe sometime eh? If you fancy buying some in the future, send me a PM and I will see what I can do, mind you they will be more expensive next time as the genetic quality gets exceptionally better. :thinking:

Hey congrats! I think that's completely normal - after all, you've created a genepool that people want to continue. That's pretty darn cool!
