[QUOTE="BRG, post: 229238, member: 2397"] UG, I feel the same way. We are now in a time where we need to be thinking about the people buying our product and in the end the person eating it. I visit and work with several feedlots around the country, and of course they want big framed grwothy cattle. I think their needs to be a happy medium. But Pharos genetics are going to kill pretty light and I am guessing their will be lots of yield grade 4's. This will ruin the possiblility of a profit in a hurry. I am sure the REA's will be smaller, but I bet the IMF will be a little higher. Just a guess. Frame 2 to 4 in my opinion is to small for the feeders and once the source and age thing catches on, they will really shy away from these kinds of cattle. Their won't be a premium for the bigger high performing cattle but their will be discounts for cattle that don't perform like they want. I have been told by a couple feedlots, that if the cattle are not [b]at least[/b] a 5.5 to 6 frame, they will not even bid on them, unless they have a pretty good feeding history on them already.
