Good morning. Does anyone here actually sell their cattle to a local feed yard? We have a large feed yard just outside of town. Spoke to my vet last week about AI and other things, and the subject came up. He said the owner of the feed yard said he would never buy from local suppliers again. Told the vet that producers here don't do anything progressive, just what "grandad always did". I do understand for the most part, a lot of producers in my area are commercial cow calf with several using Corriente Bulls on Angus base cows. I would prefer to sell local + cut out shipping/middle man costs. Before I go to him and talk about this, what do I need to know? FYI We run Gelbvieh and Balancer Bulls over RA/BA Cows. Thanks all.
