[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1835619, member: 40587"] You are right about chickens in the south, for sure in GA, anyhow. Poultry is now our number one agriculture product. Ga is [I]not[/I] the Peach State...SC is. Nor is it the top peanut producer any longer, Lot of corn grown here..3rd largest row crop behind beans and cotton. The good bottom land will yield more bushels per acre than anywhere else. But...everything raised here goes into the poultry business. That's one reason there are no feed lots.. they'd have to import corn. Iike I said, I watch sales all over the country several days a week. Mostly watching for cows and heifers for clients. And if you took some trailer weaned, non conditioned, not-steered, non vacced etc, calves, all the same breed (let's say black baldy) from the south west, the north west, mid west, and north east and brought them all here to a sale, to be sold one at a time, they would bring no more, and most likely less, than the local calves And if you took these calves, and some of ours, and carried them to these big sales where the "pot load buyers" buy them by the truck load, and ran them all in those sales one at a time, they would bring no more, probably less....than ours would.
