You Gotta “Show Me!”

Call me a doubting Thomas. I am a skeptic by nature. It comes from being raised in a rural, conservative setting. While you may think that my next statement is backwards, old-fashioned, or downright negative, a lesson I learned from my parents was “not to expect to much and then you won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t work out!”

I know, I know. Not exactly Dale Carnegie material. Later in life, I read books like “The Power of Positive Thinking” and “Psycho Cybernetics” by Maxwell Maltz. So, I figure, you mix those  attitudes, behaviors, and thought processes, and it puts you somewhere in the middle. I am not wildly enthusiastic about anything, nor am I entirely being Eeyore on the other side.

So I understand the Missouri “Show Me!” concept. My wife’s major professor in graduate school was Dr. Jim Kinder. He would always say, “I’m from Missouri, so show me!” I think that’s a healthy attitude!

Thus, when we began to roll out the new GeneMax DNA product, I had to see it work in the field. And I did!  And now, I’m a believer! So, we’re taking the news to the streets, and we’ve had great reception to the product, and some really wonderful venues to share our results at with folks on the commercial side of the Angus business.

Most recently, we were at Mead Farms, near Versailles, MO. Alan Mead, ranch owner and general manager, was the host, and he had 90 bull customers attending the program. Kara Wilson and I spoke to the crowd about  how CAB can improve your bottom line through genetics and management. This also included Kara’s knowledge of how GeneMax technology can more rapidly advance genetics that focus on growth and marbling ability in replacement heifers and feeder cattle.

Thanks, Alan Mead and to his entire crew, Domenico’s Restaurant (proprietor Tony Ciccerelli) of Osage Beach, MO, for a delicious CAB prime rib dinner, and to all of those who attended! For more information about CAB and GeneMax, visit our website at www.cabpartners.com
