[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1375564, member: 24694"] Good, but their chrome came from a Simmental bull that weighed 2215 lbs at 4 years old in his working clothes. And not some hatched azz, scrawny, short backed Longhorn cow. But with that being said even when the prices were great his chromed up calves brought $.30 less a pound. The calves were called spotted at the sale barn on my weight ticket. That's why we're eating and selling the spotted calves as farm raised beef, sold one yesterday to a couple from Atlanta. I really don't want to deal with the public, but I'm to cheap to give my cattle away. It still puzzles me how you can get a spotted calf from a Hereford bull. And the same cows bred to an Angus or Simmental bull had black calves. I'm going back with Angus bulls this year so no more spotted calves here...hopefully. Muddy you have a good grasp on the cattle business, just don't believe everything you hear. [/QUOTE]
