[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1842931, member: 498"] What I wrote about was my observations one day at the sale. The next ranch to west of me had nearly 1,000 LH cows at one time. They bred them to Charolais bulls. The trouble is they just don't preform in the feedlot. So the buyers pay less for them. You might seek a few through the sale. But when you have the numbers that guy runs they know your cattle and pay accordingly. My neighbor had to change his program. I am very well acquainted with selling locker beef. The spring and summer of 1969 (the year I graduated from HS) I sold enough to pay for 2 years of college. Did a lot in the years since then. But it just doesn't work here. This county is bigger than the state of Delaware with a population of 16,000. Those people who aren't ranchers are either related to one or friends with one. Every time I raise one for myself and try to sell half I end up selling it cheap or giving it to one of my kids. [/QUOTE]
