[QUOTE="Jake, post: 777586, member: 4"] Would drive me nuts taking cattle to a barn that sells my calves like goats. :roll: You can read any study ever conducted that you recieve premiums for "filling the ring" meaning minimum of half semi loads. I know all my southern friends on here get mad everytime I say it, but if that's how cattle are marketed it's no wonder there is so much variation in quality, color and other traits. Selling cattle like that aids in the poor reputation that goes along with southern cattle. It now makes a lot of sense to me why Superior has become so prominent in the south. Any smart producer of any size would have to sell that way or private treaty to get paid for his high quality consistently good cattle. If your not paid for uniform sets of quality cattle it's no wonder southern cattle take such a discount. Selling 1500 "cheaters" is just a rediculous way to run a salebarn. Piecing together loads increases disease risk and makes it more challenging to feed a pen of cattle. [/QUOTE]
