[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 567608, member: 1604"] Two things come to mind first. The high cost of feed/grain does not deter the rancher who is using big time assets derived from other sources for tax write-offs. People perceive fatter/heavier cattle to be genetically superior. Ranch "eyewash" sells cattle. A buyer who visits a ranch with the more plush facilities subliminally believes this rancher to be more successful and equates him to be a superior breeder. He LOOKS successful because he can afford labor and materials more readily. These are just some of my general observations. Try selling some range fed cattle next to some who have been fed grain ad libitum. [/QUOTE]
