[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1618696, member: 17956"] I think most with any experience with it, have faded away. I've had a sprinkilig of them over the years. Had some super nice corriente heifers we roped all summer. Had to talk myself out of turning them out with the cows to be bred. Sometimes wish I had, because these were exceptional (compared to others of the same breeding). Decided my losses were great enough by just selling them at the yard. For me, when you really put the pencil to it, it doesn't pencil out. Smaller calf even if you disguise the corriente. Then your gonna have some you can't cover it up. When you factor all that together, I'd rather run a cow I have a better chance of making a dollar on. Not bashing them that do. I know they are efficient. I know they breed back good. I know a good one can wean a big calf. Problem is the problem ones. When they them loud colred calves, or wean a 350 pound calf the gig is up. Todays prices, just can't support that. As I type, I wish I had those heifers back though. They were nice. [/QUOTE]
