[QUOTE="ROB, post: 652933, member: 3467"] in the traditional sense of marketing fullblood and purebred braunviehs at the local salebarn they will be docked, not because they're not good quality, but because they are not the norm. the black braunviehs will do very well at the local markets. not because they are better quality than the fullbloods or purbreds, but because they are similar to the norm. there are a number of feedlots who want braunvieh genetics (fullbloods, purebreds and black) and will pay a premium to get them. there are a lot of guys who finish out their own and sell on the grid - where the quality of their carcasses are rewarded with premiums for low yield grade, big ribeyes and decent marbling. (meaning choice) and there are guys like me who finishes out on the farm and sells beef. $1.75/lb on the hanging weight is nothing to be ashamed of, even with $7.00 corn they still made money. and yes, with the production sales there are some who like to make you think they're calves are worth a lot more money than anyone elses, but show me a production sale within any other breed that doesn't do the same thing. everyone else in my area that raises "traditional" calves and markets their beef direct took quite a discount compared to what i received. does that mean that their "traditional" calves have a limited market value as well?
