[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 245326, member: 1604"] Frankie, Think about this for a moment. We have been working on genetics for a long time, a looooong time. We have also been feeding cattle for a long time. With all the innovations in feeding and processing employed now we have gone backwards while at the same time trying to improve our genetics! The statement above is HOGWASH!!! MANURE!!! BULLSHIT!!!! We made mistakes in our genetics programs throughout all these years and the payment has come due! Now they are blaming the cow/calf man and the feedlots for our cattle not grading!!! Do you really think that the differences in calving and feeding has as big of influence as our genetics? The calving and feeding hasn't changed nearly as much as the genetics available has dictated. That statement above is nothing but an excuse for wrong genetic changes we made through the years. Funny thing is.....the folks that guided us through these screwups are the same ones calling foul now. The Universities and Extension agents. [/QUOTE]
