[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1824407, member: 40587"] I mean, yeah, if you gonna run Dexters, mini Herefords, etc, you;d get docked at the sale. But, say you had 1100 lb Angus or Hereford cows. They will wean a 500 lb steer in 6 mos. Angus and ANg x Herf black baldies will bring top dollar at the sale. Now,. say you had 1600+ Simmental cows. They gonna wean a 700 lb calf. You can raise 4 of the Ang or Herf, for the same feed costs as 3 Simms. The Ang and Herf will yield you 2000+ lbs, and the 3 Simms 2100+lbs. Virtually the same yield. Put a black Simm bull on the Herf and Angus, and an Angus bull on the Simms, and the difference will be a lot less. [/QUOTE]
