[QUOTE="DaletheDairyFarmer, post: 557256, member: 7846"] Would like to add for the benefit of several folks on these boards, if your marketing plan is to dump them at the weekly consignment sale then you will not make much money no matter what breed or color cattle you have. Targeting special sales, developing a freezer market, or selling directly to a feedlot in your case that feeds out only longhorns will net you way more money.BUT you have to take the time to make it happen. Some folks don't take the time and then complain about sale barn prices. The only thing you are guaranteed at the sale barn is that they will sell and you will get a check. I agree with Greenjeans that the high dollar cattle are the result of games being played by people who have the money to play with and these prices don't reflect reality. Real good cattle can be had for 1500-4000 range and then there seems to be a huge step up to 5 figure prices and not much in between. There are many people who make good money on all kinds of breeds but you have to have a plan. [/QUOTE]
