[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1758236, member: 24816"] Actually my marketing isn’t always the greatest. Those Hereford influence feeder sales are one sale twice a year, and usually by the time the late November or early December fall sale comes around the market is on a down trend following the earlier big runs. The spring sale usually doesn’t have as many cattle and thus smaller groups sometimes calves will still sell as singles or 2-3 head in it as there aren’t enough calves to make a big group. Occasionally, though the sale does ok, and most times if they have enough for some bigger groups they sell as good as anything else sells on that day. Yeah, Angus has taken over and ruined a lot in the process in my opinion. A lot of good long running breeding programs went black and lost all those years of efforts. Now everybody has Angus or wanna be Angus black hybrids, and they are great because they are black hided, never mind the fact of bad feet, low fertility in the females, among other things. That’s why after trying to play the game, I came to realize the need to have the kind of cows that work for me. Working slowly with what I have and trying to make the best of it. The color isn’t as important to me as a productive animal is. [/QUOTE]
