[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1818634, member: 42463"] I did... I had a lot of interesting BB crosses that mashed the scales and dressed out in high percentages. Only pulled one calf from a first calf heifer. But you're wrong about, "takes one to get it started" when the industry is geared to staying the same, feeding the same, selling the same product, and it's the processors that control the market. I can and have topped the market consistently, but my experimental calves usually went to private sales. And they were better animals than the market toppers. And my older cows, the ones I raised traditional type replacement heifers from, I never worried about birth weights and had no problems. It will be interesting to see what happens with Wagyu. Flash in the pan? Or will it have staying power? Stay tuned... [/QUOTE]
