[QUOTE="BRG, post: 201837, member: 2397"] MTNMN, I am looking to the future. I am not on any side here. I do with my program what helps out my customer from the beginning to the end. I stated that the feedlots are our customers, because they are. In the near future they will be buying cattle with a past history, or dock cattle that doesn't have a history. I truly believe that. So I am working with as many feedlots as I can so my customers can still get paid for their cattle. This next down cycle is going to be different than any other down cycle we have ever seen before and we all better have our ducks in a row when it gets here. So to say that I am on the feeders side is nonsense. I just want to make sure we are supplying what they want. As far as making the cow profitable. I have not fed my cows any hay this winter(ok, 1 & 1/2 weeks when we had a snow and ice storm.) Now we just started giving them a little protein. My cows are 1300 to 1400 lbs. The calves never get any creep, and we always wean off 700lbs Red Angus calves. So I have to say that these cow & weights are profitable. This is what my customers want and need in our enviroment. So it is profitable for them too. Why would you say that if I am not careful, I may get my papers pulled??? Everything I do is honest and straight forward!!! [/QUOTE]
