[QUOTE="TwoByrdsMG, post: 1762764, member: 37975"] We are trying to increase the income and marketability of the herd as a whole. We like the direction of our MGs and will stick with them as our main herd because they fit exactly what we desire in our herd. However, if we sell them we get slaughtered at the sale barn and sale price on good weaned heifers is $1200-1800 (registered) private treaty (or less :(). The market will not justify pricing them higher than that. A good Charolais heifer will bring $2500-5k private treaty (or more). So we have incorporated some to test the market in our area, so far with good results. The cheapest way to get good genetics is to buy embryos so that's the route we went. Also, we started out with Charolais x cattle and my husband really likes them. Gotta keep him happy too ;) [/QUOTE]
