[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1831366, member: 40587"] That is[I] exactly [/I]why this is the most profitable cow-calf operation I have ever run across. As far as the other goes...if you stuck a gun to my head, I couldn't tell you who had bought some of our calves. Nor could I tell you who bought any other kind of calf I have ever carried to a sale. Neither could any feed lot operator or processor tell you who had raised that calf. If they don't perform as well as a straight beef calf does, then that is on the buyer, the back-grounder, the feed lot buyer, and the processing plant buyer. I [I]guarantee[/I] you none of these people will feel the least bit bad about [I]not[/I] paying you the maximum price you'd like for your calves...of any breed. Many, many other-breed calves don't pan out well, either. But, if out of some misplaced sense of owing these people something, [I]if [/I]you want to be noble and [I]do the right thing by them[/I], get you a herd of top-=notch black Simmentals and just [I]give[/I] them away to these buyers.
