[QUOTE="mlazyj, post: 879235, member: 17406"] I think the waters are getting muddied by who thinks who is getting a premium , for source age verification and grade . Whoever the owner is when they go to the packer is . The cow calf man is the one getting shorted . Were the cow calf man makes some headway is raising a consistant calf crop that the buyers are calling for before the video sales are starting . Our calves have gone to the same feeder for the last 7 years . You have close to 50% export ,which consumers are we educating ? I maybe wrong but I think the Angus club has Stewart Anderson to thank for the start of certified Angus . I have seen a couple of grocery chains in the NW that marketed certified Hereford . With the cost of feed ,feedlots have to be selective what they send to the packers . Just because a pen has been on feed for x number of days doesn't mean the whole pen is ready and I will guarentee they will sort before they ship , they want every premium they can get. The Angus club has take majority black cattle , because if they blood test for straight angus they would breed themselves into a hole faster then they are .You cann't have efficent production if you're going to mono breed everything , that's just freshman ag stuff.
