[QUOTE="novatech, post: 486856, member: 5494"] Packers do not have a clue as to what they are buying if they are buying in the general market. The only way to generate more dollars on better beef is to direct market to the packer or consumer, depending on the size of your operation. I have a friend that breeds,feeds and delivers live calives to small privately owned butcher shops. He gets paid per pound on carcass grade. Feedlots, on the other hand, generate profits made on gain and feed efficiency. Normally they could care less about carcass quality. The preception of black being of higher quality is why people are breeding black and buying black. I beleive that, as more and more breeds go black, the maket for them will go down as the quality goes down. [/QUOTE]
