[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1408943, member: 1682"] Fine type if you're direct marketing. But you will get slaughtered at the sales barn for being too small of frame and too fat on the rail. It would be the equivalent price of selling a Galloway or Scottish Highland - which would bankrupt guys who are actually making a living with Hereford cattle. Last fall I got 1.45-1.55 for my 9 weight steers. Fellow who is a big Galloway breeder got .80 to 1.00 for same weight cattle - but he admits he doesn't care as he survives on his pension. It would be great if all breeds could be maintained as their original type - but that doesn't work in the real world free market - small pockets maybe. [/QUOTE]
