Sold one purebred steer this spring on the same load as a group of commercial angusx steers, same day/market, etc. Pinz steer weighed 610, would have been an L2, brought a whopping 70cents/lb while the M1/2 AX's in his range brought 1.15 to 1.20. He did have nub horns. In his defense, he outperformed my charx calves (sorry MikeC) which are usually the heaviest per day of age of any. Possibly the best calf on the trailer, but by far the cheapest. :roll:

That's not a dock or even a pier, that's a whole waterfront

Buyers?
Exactly. There's only one buyer in that market that will touch the pinz-type cattle, and he knows it. His orders head west where they are not discriminated against as bad. A good number of the cattle in this area head north where if it's not a cookie-cutter angus type, it ain't welcome. I'd wager he made more on that calf of mine than any other on the load. :roll:
