If yes what did you learn from it.
Seems I always get a guy that wants to send a couple head along to see how they do grade and yield. It usually is a one time deal for them, after realizing they didn't produce what they thought they did, that grade and yield deal is over with. Oh yeah and the packer screwed them. ;-)BC":390cwx1w said:Railed some bulls I bought at a purebred sale. Dressing percentage was less than I expected.
That's all part of the data we get back on the stuff that we sell through the marketing group along with gain data and cost of gain, etc.inbredredneck":3em37nhn said:Seems I always get a guy that wants to send a couple head along to see how they do grade and yield.

I didn't say the packer screwed me as the bulls still made money. The sale had weighed the bulls and provided the weights to the audience. The bulls only dressed 53 to 56 percent. I had assumed that they would have dressed more. That was the learning part.inbredredneck":2y0z7tqt said:Seems I always get a guy that wants to send a couple head along to see how they do grade and yield.

Yes, many times. Every time I have done it I have confirmed what I was taught and practiced for many years.Have you ever sold grade and yield? & If yes what did you learn from it.
Well look at it this way Greg if you had atleast 2.8 % of your herd grade prime you was keeping with the average.plumber_greg":27ejfmf6 said:I have and the main thing I learned is that it is a lot harder than I thought to make a herd grade all prime. The hardest part for me was finding information on how to cull and what I needed to do to improve my premiums. With only one pen, I finally decided that it wasn't worth the risk, even tho' I made money every year but one. Did it for 5 years. gs
