[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1659030, member: 24816"] That is true, however most do not sell directly to the packers even though they are ultimately the destination. It has long been promoted within the the breeds that the trend of the day is where its at and thus are the mainstream choices. The resulting calves may or may not end up being what various points along the chain desire. The cow/calf producers have to make a lot of decisions as to what their goals are and most times that is trying to find a balance if they retain females between what they need and what the market that they are selling for want. The cow/calf producers are unfortunately stuck with trying to appease the segments of the industry that are not interested in their operations, hence why the cows needed to produce those big carcass calves are a hard sell to a lot of producers.
