[QUOTE="js1234, post: 1386499, member: 17596"] I live in Central California. I run cows and yearlings here, cows in Northern Nevada and yearlings in SouthWestern Wyoming. I feed cattle in Eastern Colorado and Western Nebraska mostly, though I do feed Mexicans in the Pandhandle of Texas. In our order buying business, we have buyers working in major barns in those states and a couple other States here in the Western US. Being involved with the cattle business in several Western States, geography isn't always the nonstarter for me that it might be for others, IF there is an opportunity to get involved with a certain program or marketing strategy. The CHB cattle I have in mind are a string of about 850 head of weaned steers that deliver to one of our California ranches early next month. They'll run here until mid May. At that time, I plan to sort them and send the lightest 600 +/- to Summer grass in Wyoming and the biggest 250 directly to a feedyard. I bought the same cattle and 500 of their sisters last year. As I plan to continue with them, I'm interested in looking into CHB avenues. Also, between California and Nevada I've got a Horned Hereford bull inventory around 180 head so expose about 3,600 mother cows to Hereford bulls annually. I'm looking into if the Hereford breed has any marketing angles that could potentially make the resulting 1/2 Hereford yearlings more profitable than they already are going right in with the other 2/3's of our home raised calf crop when we market it.
