[QUOTE="Hereford76, post: 705644, member: 7000"] Cosgray - i appologize.... seems like i have come down on you a couple of times. i don't think i can give any suggestions. i don't understand or quite see the whole picture i guess. my thoughts and ideas are gathered from a totally different place - but i do think we need to have a program to market our product. maybe sell it to someone who makes a living doing it instead of trying to do it in house or turn it over and just have a board committee oversee it not run it. i quit following the chb deal cause it seems pointless to do so - but the last i really kept up on it one of the bigger issues was supply. i don't know about todays specs but change a few parts there and supply wouldn't be an issue and we wouldn't half to try and sell a select product at the same time cause i just don't think the public buying into the "select" beef is going to do it. i personally do, but the average consumer today - no. in my opinion all the bricks are laid out we need to just stack them. i live in a state that is still production ag based (for how much longer... I wonder) and hereford guys here have got pretty good at taking care of themselves and helping themselves or they have disappeared. we haven't had representation since Dietz. the reason anyone runs for a spot in aha is to help in their retirement dispersal. every time a good one tries to get in they get railroaded. i really believe that if given a choice with par market avenues - ranchers would be cross breeding with more hereford bulls. if the straight hereford looking calf wasn't cut from the load i could sell 10 times the bulls. if they didn't have to worry about what to do with those calves...
