[QUOTE="novatech, post: 816693, member: 5494"] He has uniformity in the herd of cows, maybe. But then adds non uniform bulls, and yet advises you that you want uniformity. :???: One of the points of having uniformity, maybe the main point, is to aquire a uniform group of terminals for sale, regardless of how you sell. IMO you are better off with uniformity all the way through. If I had mixed cows I would at least have all the bulls the same breed. You need to go to the sale barn and watch to see how they run the calves through. People with uniform calves will run them through in lots of what ever number. Buyers will typicly pay more. Sellers will usually pull the odd ball calves out and not include them in the lot. The reason for buyers wanting iniformity is because of the process at the feed yard. Different calfs, age size, and even breed may be fed differently. They also need to do this because of what their buyer want. Uniformity includes every aspect of cow and bull selection. not only breed but phenotype and breeding season. [/QUOTE]
