[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 727045, member: 694"] I doubt if you could tell the difference unless some one told us. This is a prime example as how we as a group are always chasing the next better breed of cattle, that ends up costing us the farm. Instead on running extremely efficient cattle that have low input cost and raise a healthy calf with no assitance for our environment. I knew a fellow that ran 2000 head of momma cows and his entire calf herd went through his butcher shop, they were grass fed only, looked like a box of crayons looking at them and nothing was steered. People raved about his beef. As a group we are our on worst enemy you can not get any two cowmen to agree on breed and that is because there is not a perfect breed just perfect breeds for your operation and management style. Buyers discount for anything under the sun I have seen every breed there is discounted at one time or other at the salebarn. There job is to pay us as little as possible and fill the trailer. Soon as these go down the chute and the hide comes off they are all the same color. [/QUOTE]
