[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1831886, member: 498"] First that head buyer for the big outfit. Well they own a packing plant that kills 1,400 a day. So I believe they are just influenced by profit. These are not small feedlots. They have tens of millions of dollars invested in just the animals they have on feed. You can be pretty certain they know what makes them money and what doesn't. If you think you can do better than them I would advise you to buy a couple hundred head of Corriente cross calves and put them on feed. You seem to think there is big money to be made. I know a man who had 500-600 LH cows which they bred to Charolais bulls. They had to go away from the LH cows because they took too big a hit on the calves. The feeders didn't want because they didn't preform. I know another guy who has a lot of Corriente cattle that he uses to put on ropings and rent out to roping clubs. He kept a bunch of the over grown heifers and bred them to Charolais. I witnessed him trying to sell the calves to man #1. The reply was we can't use them and I don't know anyone who wants them.
