[QUOTE="hillbilly, post: 28894, member: 373"] How many of you guys retain ownership? I thought most of us were pretty much small timers [100 cows or less] I know guys with 250 + cows that don't retain there calves. With that said, If you don't have 40% + continintal blood in your calves you're not making all you can make off your calves. Yellow calves top the market here in SW missouri and they are heavier at weaning. The smartest beef man I know has a good Red Angus cow herd [200+] He has all Char. bulls and 1 Red angus bull. Raises his own replacments off the red angus and markets all char x calves. I have not heard him ponder weather his calves grade prime, but he does have a nice new truck every year. We have a responsibilty to the consumer and to our industry to raise the best eating calves we can, but we also have the responsibilty of passing on a profitable way of life to our children. For a cow calf opperator that means selling calves for as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
