[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1672321, member: 498"] Very few small producers. Almost entirely full time ranches. Some direct selling, some on the video, and some that take their calves to the sale. Taking them too close makes it a gamble for the feedlot. Too short of time in the feedlot ends up with too many yellow fats, selects, over size, and other deductions when the plant is buying them on the grid. The people I bought my bulls from for years retained ownership for years. They did that on 400/500 calves a year. They wanted their cattle harvested in April. That is historically a high month on price for fat cattle. [/QUOTE]
