[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 638316, member: 3937"] Brandon, You raise whatever you like. I will give you an example. At a sale 2 weeks ago. 5 weight fancy black and red steers. $1.12-$1.23. A large group [about 20 pounds heavier] of mixed calves of mixed who knows what breeding $87.50. I see that all the time. Theses are large feeder sales with buyers from several states. If the owner of those calves would have used a red or black bull on his cows I believe he would have made at least $50 more per calf. I feel its good advise to suggest people raise cattle that are in demand. As far as a better chance of making money on the $87.50 calves? I'll go with the cattle buyers. NOPE. [/QUOTE]
