[QUOTE="Texan, post: 52855, member: 416"] I don't agree with PLB and RA Bill about keeping out protein all the time. And you're right, Showmom. I will [b]never[/b] agree with it. That represents a tremendous waste of money to me. But I have a question. Why does it even matter if anybody agrees with you? If it works for [i]you[/i], continue to do it! I would expect [i]most[/i] buyers prefer a little better condition on cattle that they pay more money for. Then we gripe when we turn 'em out and they lose that condition on pasture. That's probably not gonna change drastically any time soon, although forage based programs seem to be gaining in popularity. Eventually, I expect more money will move toward these cattle developed on grass. Or, maybe not. But I know that [i]my[/i] money already has. When that happens, breeders will either have to join in or get left behind. But for now, flesh helps sell breeding cattle. Be honest about how you put it on there and let the buyer decide. [b]If it works for you now, continue to do it![/b] Don't worry about what the rest of us think. That's my advice. [/QUOTE]
