[QUOTE="Jake, post: 140651, member: 4"] now I"m not going to side with either side here, or at least try not to. In our experiences cattle we've bought from the south have been less uniform and not sold nearly as well because of that and because of the apparent ear in a portion of them. Cattle we've gotten from Northern Nebraska have come more uniformed out of the same type of sale barns. The ranchers of the region use more similiar bulls of similar breeding because of the environmental settings. In the south you go 100 miles and you've got changes in environment that are unbelievable so it's harder to set up a large group of cattle from different owners in that type of area. One person will be using high % eared cattle the next is using Bos Taurus bulls on 3/8 Brahman cows. There are ASTRONOMICAL differences in those calves. When in the north one guy is using english cows X continental bulls, the next is using the same or a similar combo, these calves are MOST LIKELY going to be quite similar. That's why there are the prejudices and why feeders are saying they'd rather have northern cattle. [/QUOTE]
