[QUOTE="Bez, post: 50860, member: 412"] The operation in Ontario does not expect a producer to guarantee delivery of any animals. However they do promise to remain competitve and hope to build a loyal following. As far as I am concerned, as long as it is run by a Canuck group and not sold to multi-nationals - as long as they are at least competitive - I will certainly support them. There are already expansion plans in the works along with additional holding barns planned. When you register with Gencor, you are requested to estimate your output - but it in no way obligates you to send in a specific number of animals. Do not know how many animals you have, but if the herd is 25 in size or better - well, I would be surprized if you did not cull out at least one animal per year. We always do a minimum of 8 - 10 % and in some years we go a bit harder. That is on top of what we use to feed the family and a couple of neighbours who are in a bit more trouble than we are. In your part of the world - as I understand it - if you do not use your hook and provide a cull, you can release that hook to another producer. You might want to reconsider. Take care, Bez [/QUOTE]
