What scruples????? If they are sold at auction, the buyers can buy or not... If they are being sold and claiming something they are not then that is different.... I just don't see where anyone is claiming them to be something they are not any more than claiming every black animal is eligible for certified angus beef... IF it grades then it is... but it is not CERTIFIED angus unless DNA tested and that is not a requirement for the program....
I would be more concerned about animals that go to the sale claiming to be weaned and vacc and all that, and getting sick because someone did not do like they claimed.....
You have eyes, the buyers have eyes... it is up to them to make those judgement calls in the ring.
Look at the guy
@Dave helps... with the wagyu.... look like crap to some people... but they are what he says when he sells them because he markets them that way.... if these corr crosses are marketed as something they are not then there is reason to "hold it against the seller and their reputation".... If they are just marketed then it is BUYER BEWARE......
If my BLACK, 1/2 longhorn, 1/2 angus steer gets graded by the state grader, after I have dropped them off at the yard and left... it is not my problem..... and the buyer has the right... and I have seen them do it.... to buy a group but says I want to pull those 2 steers out.... because they do not match... and then they get sold separate... It is part of it... IF you are selling private, or you are selling animals with certain guarantees and your reputation is at stake than that is different.
"Scruples" is MISREPRESENTING something you are selling as something it is not...
Making money off something like the corr or LH crosses is not a lack of scruples... it is good business decision making...... as long as you are not claiming they are something they are not.
