[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1387161, member: 24016"] You have a point about stocking rate and profit. However, you fail to consider that a packer simply will not take a steer that finishes at 800-900 pounds and a frame 4. If it doesn't fit the box, they don't want it. They also don't want a finished steer over 1400. Those are facts, not views. You may get simply severely docked, or may not get sold at all. For a niche, direct to consumer market, you don't have to worry about carcass size. For the commercial cattleman, selling feeders or even stockers, it is a huge deal. The ability to stock more cows doesn't mean diddly squat if you can't sell the offspring. As for the obvious disdain some regard Mr Pharo with, it is mostly because he is a salesman. Some would say a salesman before a cattleman. Some of us simply don't drink the cool aid he is pitching. There is a counterpart to Mr Pharo in the club calf industry. He is a great with marketing and branding. He has tons of fancy bulls and sells more straws of semen a year than most can imagine. There are those that drink his coo laid, and those that do not.
