If it aint broke don't fix it. I guess what I mean is would you change direction if you were Kelly Schaff, $14,000 averages on yearling bulls don't happen everywhere..
What a supreme marketing job they do. Feed them to a 1000 lb weaning weight and sell them with somewhat outcross genetics. To me they waste some feed there but I wouldn’t change a thing either. Not worth losing customers to feed to 750 lb weaning weights now. Fat sells and hides some flaws as well.
The question I have & don’t know is do there typical customer also feed for 900-1000 lb weaning weights and if they do does it pay or cost to do that in the end? There’s some irony in Bismarck and Final answer being the most used Sav bulls if that’s still the case. Either way, they have a good program.
