[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1557943, member: 27490"] I see an obvious need to define my issue. Let's pass over the input issue for a moment. What I am saying is that you have to serve the buyers who buy your bulls. I raise registered Simmentals. My buyers are looking for registered Simmental bulls. The first thing most want when I am contacted or the first thing they do when a bull is offered up for sale.......Is run his numbers through the ASA website. The numbers they focus on are CE, WW and YW. They are looking for bulls that scored in the upper percentile for the breed in those 3 categories. My point is this - they are searching for bulls that will produce heavy calves at weaning - as CB calls them "scale mashing" weaners. Whether they are right or wrong is their business. BUT I KNOW WHAT THEY WANT! They want 6 to 7 weights at weaning. Dave, I am not addressing your issue that they could realize more profit by targeting 500 pound weaners versus 600 and near 800 pound weaners, to me that is their business. If I produce bulls that cannot wean big calves, I will not sell bulls as easily as I do. The input issue is a separate issue. [/QUOTE]
