[QUOTE="Ojp6, post: 1334445, member: 23608"] That is true, but some breeds will grade prime more often than other breeds. So it has a heck of a lot to do with the breed of cow. I would think someone with your experience should know this. There's a lot more to raising cows now a days, than putting grass in front and bull behind the cow. There is also 3 grades of prime and choice beef, and 2 grades for select. If you don't adapt you'll be left behind.[/quote] You are exactly right, a few breeds will grade prime a quite a bit more often than others. I have a funny story that happened to my neighbor. Nobody will probably believe this but I saw the check when he got it. He sent 14 fats to a kill plant. He was just cleaning out oddballs and was prepared to take a beating on them. There was a longhorn cross heifer that had a calf in the feedyard, the only holstien he had, a jersey cross, a purebred Charolais, and a 4 year old cow that we sold him after she lost a calf. She was really fat but we were expecting her to be called over 30 months and bring fat cow price. He got his check and there was 4 prime and 10 choice. [/QUOTE]
