[QUOTE="Bluestem, post: 268330, member: 3269"] Somn said quote- ' Bluestem I have to argue one point it doesn't cost feedlots more to feed cattle to heavier weights. In fact it costs me more to buy replacements than to feed the ones I've already paid for. Corn is always cheaper than cattle. We sell by the pound not by the head the reason we need to sell lighter than we would like to is simple." I guess I'm a little hardheaded and slow. But I don't get what your saying. Corn is not free. So I would think that it would cost more to put that weight on. Explain- "to sell lighter than we would like to is simple." I will agree there are alot of junk cows out there. But someone buys them. Don't buy them and they will go away. I've spent years trying to improve my genetics. Feel I'm getting there. But I don't get much more than the junk at the sale barn. So now only my culls go to the sale barn. Even that may change in the future. [/QUOTE]
