[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1683294, member: 12520"] Speckle Park tend to take a beating up here too. "They" tell me one of the biggest problems is that 1,200 pounds is their ceiling in the feedlot and no matter how much feed you throw at them that's just the limit. So the feedlot doesn't have the flexibility to feed them a little longer to time the market. A similar problem exists with angus, but at a higher weight. This is not such a stumbling block for exotic (European) cattle. Fortunately there is no colour bias up here, quality sells. Well, unless it's hereford of shorthorn. They will take a bath every time regardless of quality. [/QUOTE]
