[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 773159, member: 5898"] We've retained ownership on our calves for many years-they are straight British cattle Angus/Horned Hereford/South Devon-it doesn't take long for a big carcass type cow to eat up her progeny's grid premium. I wonder how many people telling us what kind of cattle to raise and feed have ever seen a lot closeout or paid a feed bill. Alot of wisdom is just rehashed breed propaganda. If I want to use RWF cattle to bump up my yield grade I don't need to use a Hereford although baldy steers will usually yield grade a bit better than straight blacks. I think when Hereford lost the focus on making good mother cows and started trying to outmilk and outgrow Simmental cattle is when the breed lost it's way-at least up north here. [/QUOTE]
