So you do not want to think, then surely I am not for you.
Please understand, those with experience will not look at the animals the same as beginers, nor the same as newbies. That's what experience does. Its not about rude or condescending. Of course it seems that way, when you don't understand something.
As you said, I always say, its about the animals. Which means, I put personalities and egos aside. Mine and yours!
As Gregg mentioned, you cannot be told what to do, well some can, but most say, yea but I live in the cellar of brewery and I cannot do this or that, or I can't because of this or that. Yet you can learn whats needed and apply it in any situation.
So it boils down to this, if you care about your animals, you will learn to think, if you don't, you will do this for a couple of years then move on to collecting banana peels(the latest fad)
And yes, that sounds rude, but its not rude when its the truth. If you hang around you will learn that.
As a newbie you believe in what is written, its A or B. I pick B. As you actually gain an education, you learn that its more then A or B, in fact a lot more. Somewhere you will learn that if the animal is not right(healthy) or progressing right, something is wrong with your, A or B.
To go past being a newbie, the first lesson to learn is, The A's and B's(stuff you read) are mere suggestions, the TRUTH is the animal itself. Its always right, we all are just trying to keep it going right, the A's and B's you read, are only good as long as its working. With a troublesome animal, stop believing in the A's and B's and believe in the animal. If its doing great, then your husbandry is good, its working, if its not, your husbandry is not working. It is that simple, change your husbandry. Cheers
