[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1713386, member: 4063"] Bigfoot The first calf from a heifer is never as big as the calves that follow, I assume that you know this already but I say it for the new people that read the posts. You recognize the issues with color and ear that caused the prices to be lower and you already said that you can fix those issues with the second calves. I would expect the next calves to be 50 lbs heavier on average so next year the average price should be closer to $900. What is my point? 1. Recognize your short comings….check you’ve done this, you identified mixed color and ear as bad for your market 2. Raise cattle that the buyers want and will pay more for…..check you already said that you can fix these issues on the next calves Some people complain about what they receive but don’t change what they’re doing or what type of cattle they raise. Then they complain again the next year. This is a low margin business and any small gains can add up and make a big difference when you add together several improvements. [/QUOTE]
