[QUOTE="Mid South Guy, post: 877108, member: 17328"] I think the packer is at that point, but does not have the ability to control it. I believe you've hit on the problem by saying, "they may look good but are good beef?". It is the inability of the buyers and producers to accurately predict what the carcass quality of a 7 mo old calf will be a year or more later. We have come a long way in the industry in improving this, but there is still no way to accurately predict carcass quality at that age with any reasonable degree of certainty. When that certainty becomes avalible, what you are saying about pricing may become a reality. [/QUOTE]
