We have become experts at negative feedback particularly online
Constructive criticism is much more valuable
Never underestimate the power of positive feedback the most valuable thing of all
If somebody is doing a good job tell them!!!
Thought for the day

One of the popular myths presented this time of year, is that proofs of young GS AI bulls don’t stack up & as a result, farmers would be better to stick to using daughter proven or even stock bulls when breeding dairy female replacements. #DataDrivenFacts https://t.co/VqCKvgUDoV
