If they can sell two scrawny 400lb weaning calves and make a dollar more than selling one 800lb weaning calve then they don't have any interest in improving weaning weights. Look at herds as you drive around the country. People aren't interested in quality as much as they are interested in the bottom line. You must really enjoy tilting at windmills.
I think that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact I think there are plenty of producers on here that produce fine calves from great mothers. To the point that some get deeply offended by the inference that their cattle are inferior and Branded and or SAV will be the savior.
