[QUOTE="novatech, post: 486986, member: 5494"] I agree. But the problem is that the quality cattle do not grow fast enough to gain the profit that a fast grower will make. It is necessary to do the ultasound to sell the slow grower, higher quality animal at a higher price. The ideal situation is to breed the genetics into the base stock for quality, cross them to get the highbred vigor, then cross them again to get the highbred terminal calf, all having the genetics for quality carcass. This is a win, win situation for the feedlot. There is still no advantage for the producer unless he somehow can market it a such. The average producer does not want to mess with it. [/QUOTE]
