Problems

Yet in all the greatness of this fantastic Simmental venture, problems also arose that required Travers’ attention: problems of import restrictions; of trying to manage his ranch while away so much; of coping with the varying expectations of investors in the new company, SBL. Much time was spent in negotiating to buy out those who were not prepared or were unable to continue on; yet it seemed that as soon as they were bought out, differences arose with other shareholders. Almost from the beginning, Travers’ dream was plagued by differences of opinion about his “Simmental vision” and the “mission” of SBL.
