[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 734522, member: 1682"] It can be done. You may have to modify your management a fair bit to help in selecting those animals that excel in certain conditions, thus identifying the key traits you want to market. If you can't compete against the bigger purebred guys, a good fall back is to maintain a purebred cowherd and breed to another breed to market F1 open and bred heifers to the commercial market. You should find lots of commercial buyers looking for some solid, uniform F1 replacement heifers, whether by private treaty or in special bred heifer sales. This will allow you to keep your cowherd purebred, just in case some of your competition goes south and you can get into a cut of the purebred action. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
