[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13233"] Probably not to silly, but too hard! The 1, 2 and 3 are the estimated yield grades (how much marketable meat is in the carcass) for slaughter cattle. They also apply the same grades to feeders. The feeders yield grade frequently change as they grow. That's why I like to buy 2 and 3 feeders. You not only add weight over the next several months, but the grade may well move up. If you buy 1's there is nowhere to go but down. Buy low, sell high. [/QUOTE]
