[QUOTE="Little Joe, post: 1638211, member: 39122"] That may be so but let’s face it even when you are running them good mainstream cattle you might be getting top dollar at the barn but your inputs are going to be high. I was talking to an old man the other day that has always kept his herd up with the trend and he says it’s just not profitable, he’s looking at buying longhorn and longhorn crosses to run with good bulls. I myself bought a few longhorn cows last fall bred to a black baldie bull and I think from the inputs so far and what I have in them that even with the longhorn dock they will be pretty profitable due to low inputs and low maintenance. Most people aren’t looking at their inputs when they brag about what their calves brought at the barn. I want cattle that work for me not the other way around. I’ve had registered angus and mainstream commercial cows and always lost money on them so I have to do something different. [/QUOTE]
