[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1653080, member: 24947"] Same as the Hereford Because the stockers are not ordering them. There's a period between weaning and feeding called stocking. It's done differently in different places. Spring calves in the SW are almost without exception turned out on winter wheat. Not fed daily rations like your snow covered areas, therefore there is a different demand. As someone said earlier, old habits are hard to break. Just because someone can grow and finish a Hereford steer prime behind the barn does not make it the best choice for turning out on pasture in large groups. The customer gets to buy what he wants, the fact that may not be what your selling means nothing. [/QUOTE]
