[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 19189"] Alejandro, I seem to have ruffled your feathers or insulted you, certainly without intending to do so. I was merely responding to D. R. Cattle’s question regarding the size of all the Continental (exotic) animals you are using and whether or not they fit in with current (American) feedlot demands. Perhaps the article to which I referred was just flat out wrong, but a year or two ago there was a fairly lengthy article in The Cattleman magazine (put out by the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raiser’s Association) which reported on the differences between the Mexican and American consumer preferences. The article indicated that, generally speaking, Mexican consumers are much less likely than Americans to demand the highly marbled (fatty??) cuts of beef like T-bones, ribeyes, etc. and that they in fact preferred the leaner (more healthy??) cuts of meat. If that is the case then the use of large, Continental and/or “exotic” animals (as opposed to British breeds) would seem to make a lot of sense if someone wanted to sell to the Mexican market. Given your geographic location, I thought your program was ideally suited to your apparent market. I see nothing offensive in these, and my earlier, comments --- but please accept my apologies if you in fact were offended. Arnold Ziffle [/QUOTE]
