[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 578361, member: 4437"] HerefordSire- Just to express an opinion, I feel that you are operating from an optimistic premise, rather than a pragmatic one, BUT you are on the Main Line Track! [i]I have a tendency to be over optimistic and I am glad you pointed this out to me. [/i] (1) Your hypothesis of locating FOREIGN buyers is patronizing to an extent, but the basic premise is reasonable - BUT - the [i]expenses and time[/i] involved could be prohibitive. [i]It was not my sole intention to disclude domestic buyers without a strategy. The entire hypothetical solution is based upon currency spreads of the US Dollar versus the currency of the major foreign buyers. When the captured spread was favorable, the small to mid-size rancher would participate by receiving more dollars per pound for their Hereford or Hereford cross animals as the result of the "pass through". I could even qualify this one more step.....to not buy, for export, any CHB qualified beef from domestic small to mid-size ranchers and only buy non-qualified CHB Hereford crosses for export. While we a buying the non-qualified CHB crosses, would could also buy the qualified CHB animals while we were there to increase overall domestic CHB supply to land the Wal-Mart account.[/i] (2) The [b][i]hire[/i][/b] mandate is insightful on your part, and could be very workable with the caveat of possible expenses and costs, which would have to be borne [i]somewhere[/i] along the sales chain. [i]Yes, the major foreign buyers operating in a foreign currency would be ultimately paying for all incurred expenses.[/i] (3) This facet of the merchandising protocol is another element of expense which could be a "bottle-neck" in the [b]PROFIT[/b] corner of the commitment. [i]The strategy would not work as I intended it to if we were not able to switch non-Hereford breeders to raising Herefords and become a member of the new AHA.[/i] The important aspect of these discussions on CattleToday is the fact that it is causing Hereford Breeder's (and ALL Beef Breeders for that matter) to [b]THINK[/b] - rather than letting 'George' "Bell The Cat"! This is one way of enhancing the BU$INE$$ potential, but it requires EFFORT, DEDICATION, TIME - - -and ($$$!) Good thinking, HerefordSire! [i]Thank-you for your help and patience Doc![/i] DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
