[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1697482, member: 6291"] I agree with you. I have watched my family haul in beefmaster calves not tagged, not cut, no vaccinations, nothing for years and still bring dang good money. Generally they bring all the calves in to one place and separate the bulls and heifers. From there they get some salt and mineral and maybe some molasses. They will sit there until prices look good or they have to pay some bills or what ever motivates them to sell. I chase genetics, worming, cutting and all this other stuff trying to maximize the dollar and our spread isn't that much different for all the work and capital. I do think I produce more pounds & dollars to the acre but it comes at a price. If I could wave my magic wand to try to maximize more dollars it would be a better set up to hold calves on improved grass until we wanted to sell. It would not be feed programs or any thing like that. From what I have seen there are efficiency and price benefits to do that. [/QUOTE]
