[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1463138, member: 12520"] Around here some feeders have told me they shy away from straight Angus, one reason being that when an Angus is finished they are finished. You can't hold them an extra week or two because every dollar put into them is dollars straight out the window. They tell me exotics you can keep feeding and still get a return on the investment while waiting for markets to improve. Another thing they tell me about exotics is that they may take more feed to finish but the return from a better cutting carcass more than off sets the difference. We run a herd of mongrels, but try to keep the Angus (red in our case) influence from getting too strong. [/QUOTE]
