[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1737714, member: 4063"] The consumer makes buying decisions with their wallet. At the sale barn, the buyer is your consumer's representative. The trend for many years now has been that quality is key to receiving the top price and marbling has been linked in people's mind as leading to a quality product. I know that marbling alone is not the answer, but it is a factor that many have overlooked. GAR has known this and has been promoting higher marbling for a long time, making an entire seedstock business out of it. In Dave's example the top price was about 50% higher than the lower price. That's simply too large of a difference in your yearly income to ignore if you're trying to run a profitable operation. If you're just doing as a hobby and don't care about the money, then I guess you can do as you please. In reference to another thread, you may be missing the boat by not raising high marbling cattle.
