[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 877018, member: 8382"] i shouldn't have said that because it opens the whole not all cab are angus and etc. etc. thats not my point. i really haven't thought this through, like i said kind of thinking out loud. heard on the radio and on rfdtv agday that due to this years drought lots of young calves were put in the feedyard and they stalled out early and are not grading well, but the feeders are asking 1.20 for them. the packers are saying there is shortage of quality beef they are willing to pay for it, but most of the cattle on the show list is lower quality. i feel at some point we will be paid according to the quality of the beef we raise. i'm not sure how it will come to be, but i think we're going to see big changes. i don't see the packers to continue paying the same price for lower quality beef as good quality i feel like the breeding your favorite cows to the bull of the month with no regards to quality will come to an end and the focus will be more on the end result. i'm really not trying to stir the pot and i truly beleive there are too many people breeding junk(go to your local sale) i think those guys will be out of business or going to have to make some changes. in the past the the tools to improve quality(beef) were not always available like they are today, so i think now the people that do will be rewarded and the rest will be left out. sorry to ramble, it's been a long week and i travel a lot so i have lots of time with just the radio and my thoughts.
