[Mr. Baker’s next complaint]: We have to go in
and change birth weights in the calf file because
they’re too high.
[Jay Hoyt’s comment]: That’s R.W.’s job - He
doesn’t deal with customers and know what they want.
[Mr. Baker’s next complaint]: Louie takes a bull
paper or steer paper that died or was slaughtered and
uses them for bulls he’s selling without regard of what
it does to me.
[Jay Hoyt’s comment]: What it does to R.W. is
gives him a job. He has absolutely no understanding
where the money comes from to run his office. This is
our fault. He had a chance to turn a paper into cash
that would not have been if he had his way. That
should be a success and not a problem.
[Mr. Baker’s next complaint]: The progeny history
of the cow doesn’t match, a true picture of the cow’s
history can never be assured because we don’t know if
its her real calf or not, and when we get slaughter
information back we can’t put it in on the right animal
because he’s a bull and was sold.
[Jay Hoyt’s comment]: What percentage? This one
is sad. It shows how serious the problem is. The
carcass data should just be attached to a copy of the
paper and entered. The bull goes in the sale DATA.
The data is STILL included in every place needed for
Seth [Jay Hoyt’s brother] and I. We don’t need the
original paper to do our tracking. All that must be
done is to record what happened on the copy of the
paper.
[Mr. Baker’s next complaint]: That messes up what
I tell you, USDA, and Seth. I have to take up untold
hours finding red calves that have red sires and red
dams, knowing full well the sire has to be taken with a
grain of salt. All of these things are easy for Louie
