[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1822993, member: 24816"] The way I see it the packers are going to figure out how to make money, no doubt about that. Feedlot operations know what works for them. So what I am saying as per the original post is that the type of cattle the packers and feeders want are not always the type of cattle that work the best for cow calf producer. Those high growth or carcass genetics are often times hard keeping and hard to get bred, let alone the feet and leg issues cut the productive life of cows and bulls. As cow calf producers we have to find what works for us too and it’s a compromise a lot of times to try to get a balance between the cow/calf operation and what the markets want. [/QUOTE]
