[QUOTE="BRG, post: 359001, member: 2397"] What everyone is saying is just fine and dandy, but more and more feedlots are making the statements that the cattle they want to buy needs to be at least 50% angus blood and 25% to 50% continental. Pretty tough to have all these crosses and still have what the feedlots(our buyers) want. I say raise what your market dictates. If it is F1 Red Angus and Charlais, make them, if you get steer price for selling replacement heifers with straight red or black angus, then raise that. Just make sure you have a plan and stick to it, don't chase one breed and then switch to another because they are hot. That is a good way to mess it all up. Like it or not, but the feeders and packers are our customers, and if you don't raise what they want, they won't pay as much for yours as the guy who has what they are looking for. [/QUOTE]
