[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1250833, member: 16769"] I hear ya, AlmostaTexan. I kind of have the same issue with my cattle, here in an area where black cattle are the real money makers -- I have "something different" and will never get the $$ out of them via raising and selling them on the hoof that I might get in another part of the country where they are more recognized and there are shows for them. We've sold a few on the hoof, and a couple bull calves for the first time this year. Most of our bulls fledge to steers, and we have a good customer base for butcher beef. But they'll never pay the bills around here; they pretty much pay their own way, but they are not my retirement ticket. Still, we enjoy them, and we know we can produce as good or better beef than anyone else in the area. That's enough. We keep what pleases us. I'd listen to the person near you that it's the same boat you are. Sounds like he/she might be a good mentor for you. Good luck! And thank you and your husband for your service! [/QUOTE]
