[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 46028, member: 13"] Ollie said: "12 inch rea could get you into discounts(or out of premiums) if the carcass weights are average and they get very fat." So if the carcass is above average or they don't get "very" fat, a 12 inch REA won't get you discounts? "I thought the packers didn't dock till somewhere over 16 sq.in." Packers have a market for everything they buy. If your cattle don't fit a market, they'll dock you. Laura's Lean is looking for a larger ribeye than CAB. CHB will accept a higher YG than CAB. It can be a learning experience for a producer to feed some cattle, even if it's just a few head through your state sponsored feed out program. [/QUOTE]
