[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 141038, member: 1604"] I have always believed that the people with GOOD cattle are being paid less because of all the BAD cattle out there on the market. The buyers of weaned calves coming through the auction barn are paying almost the same money for the GOOD and BAD alike. (Have even seen some mistreated ones bring more per lb -because they are lighter and stand to gain more.) The "Poor Managers" don't have working facilities, the knowledge, or the resources to properly manage a herd of cattle. And don't care to do better. They simply rob the calves off every year and run them to the auction barn for a little extra cash. The only way I know to avert this situation now is to feed your own cattle and sell them on the grid. Then you KNOW what you have. Maybe Mandatory ID will run some of them out of business. [/QUOTE]
