[QUOTE="LCCattle, post: 1343050, member: 23661"] This was discussed somewhat at length on FB with varying points of view as some producers have already adopted one or both of the below What was proposed was for commercial beef producers to produce inferior beef to compete with the dairy industry, both through genetics an poor management instead of proper management. One proposal was for beef cattle producers to change their herd to a herd of Holstein, or in part, to produce more inferior beef to compete with dairy cattle. This would also create an increase in demand for those still producing beef cattle. Another proposal was for beef producers to hold their beef cows in production longer until their BCS goes down to where they will no longer produce USDA grade choice right along with dairy cattle and be sold at the Holstein action so they most likely will go directly to the slaughterhouse. I support both of these positions. Some breeders also supported my position even though it will have a negative effect on their market . [/QUOTE]
