[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 657643, member: 968"] That is a pretty broad statement. I would have to say that if that is true, it is a regional benefit. You're saying you have more LABOR and maybe cost in keeping a cow, so her offspring would have to bring more to break even. Don't know what kind of prices you are talking, but I would rather sell 10 $3000 heifers than sell one $5000 Longhorn???? And, if you are any kind of true BREEDER, than the majority of your bulls are castrated - only saving the BEST for breeding bulls. Therefore, I would guess, your steer calf crop does NOT sell for as much as your local neighbors COMMERCIAL steers. You have to look at the WHOLE picture. Not just a few animals you sold for more than your neighbor's. [/QUOTE]
