[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1831520, member: 28532"] If I buy these cows, I’m not doing it to intentionally deceive anyone. I look at it as a lower risk investment. Let’s say I buy a cow for 400 and put a good bull on them, increase the cows value through improved genetics from the bull, sell the calf for 700 why is that dishonest? It’s like the salvage business, adding value to something that’s a little less desirable. I talked to a friend today who’s in the stocker business, has a few LH for pasture ornaments. He said you can tell the LH cross calves in the lot, but they’re growing good. He’s honest, and his opinion was to go for it. He and I realize they won’t do quite as well as straight beef breeds but bought right they’ll still make someone money. Same as buying cows. You can overpay for a cow quite easily. It’s a lot harder to underpay. [/QUOTE]
