[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1557833, member: 37967"] I'm not planning on selling to operations out West, unless they want my product. Not everything out here is 2000 pounds. For example, we have a very nice Miss Burgess cow, about 1600 pounds that puts off an excellent calf every time. We range between 1600-2000 pounds on our cows, with the majority between 1750-1900. I do plan on ramping up a steer operation over the next 3 years, after considering some things that have been said on this board, believe it or not! and will be using our own sires to produce them along with registered dams that I have tested and know the carcass epds. High marb, high $QG, $YG, $B dams. The bulls we have would work well for a commercial cattleman in KY, but convincing them to use a terminal bull to create steers has so far been a long, slow process. [/QUOTE]
