[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1550059, member: 37967"] That about sums things up Bright Raven, I've heard people say if their cattle can stand up and make it on the truck that is all that matters. Who the h...ll wants to buy cattle like that, they are barely good enough for dog food, much less a prime ribeye. I'm not saying we are the end all be all at Branded, and I sure as h..ll am not being paid to say this by any industry consortium, but we give it our very level best to produce a high-quality animal that we stand behind. My observations are from experience, not a hunch. Our operation breeds cattle that most in Kentucky would not even touch (big, negative CED, etc, why? "Too big, too fancy, too everything you can imagine" but at the end of the day, we rarely lose calves, we don't have prolapsed heifers and cows with their rib cages showing, and we don't feed our cattle baled up weeds. If that makes us fancy, so be it. Tell any serious producer that you wean 4 weights at 205 and they would think you are running a backwards operation. WIth as much grass as we have here in KY, and with the right genetics in place, not to mention solid vaccination protocols and nutrition, healthy cattle and big weaning weights should be a no-brainer. But as Bright Raven stated above, it's NOT the case, and it's far from being the case. One other thing, I actually post photos of my cattle, which are not perfection, but there are people on this board that can pick apart a person's cow, calf, bull, to the Nth degree, but they will never post any photos of what they produce.
