[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1613379, member: 24016"] I don't know your location, but in NW WI, those breeds are NICHE breeds and bring anything but a premium. I'm sure there are people using those breeds for a direct marketing program in places, but it's not happening up here lol. My step brother sells grass grown, brewer's by-product finished steers direct marketed. He is using my Lim-flex bulls over his Hereford and Hereford X cows with success. His program is designed to maximize end product on limited input, and do it fast (no 3 year old steers lol). The issues you mentioned Herefords having are easily addressed by proper selection and can be found in almost any breed. Limis have a bad rap for calving issues, yet, I've never had to pull a calf.... [/QUOTE]
