[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 1105931, member: 1683"] The Judd Ranch operation is obviously an outstanding "cattle factory"! The statistics presented here generally throughout are spectacular compared to the average 'run-of-the-mill" ranch, and the figures are eye-popping. But, as has been said previously on this thread, and others as well, the results produced take an incredible amount of feed to present the finished product that the Judds are capable of doing. If you will carefully study the various traits and characteristics, as well as the stated diet that the cattle are fed, it becomes obvious that their "cost of production , not only feed, but labor, paddocks, hay harvesting, corn production and machinery with which to achieve and realize these remarkabke results is focused toward the eyed-popping results that they obtain. I take nothing away from the cattle - they are the result of a careful genetic and well-balanced plan of matings and breeding management. BUT - the costs involved in these results MUST be taken into consideeration by potential buyers in order to prepare them for results that perhaps will not match or even compare with what the Judd Ranch has been able to produce. It takes exceptional EPD,s and genetic balancing to be able to present cattle such as these on a regular production basis. If the purchaser realizes what is involved to duplicate these results, more power to him! That is the name of the cattle breeding game. But PROFIT after expenses is a tough row to hoe, and fore-warned is fore-armed. "Cost of Production" and "Feed Efficiency" will spell the difference between success and failure in your operation.
