[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1533959, member: 19683"] It's a bit different management and numbers here, but one thing always been bothering me. Let's say a farm is selling all bulls, very good ones and those, which probably should never leave calves. An amateur, just starting farmer comes to buy a bull (or any kind of animal) and he has zero experience with beef cattle, so just chooses whatever bull. He starts building his herd from those animals, which should have been raised for meat. And I have seen plenty examples of low quality animals sold for quite good money, and when you want to sell a good animal everybody says that you ask too much... Everybody got used to lower prices for low quality animals and don't want to understand that the quality cost more. Very good example seen just recently. A person from a city bought some purebred registered heifers at ~1year age. Butchered one at 21months age as she wasn't growing at all. I mean, she weighed 440lbs... He then is angry that he got very little for her when he sold her to the butcher... [/QUOTE]
