To Tapeworm & La4Angus,
If you would like to see some of the closeouts from the last Ranch to Rail test I will be happy to fax you results of what Brahman influenced steers can do in a feed yard. One of the highest net return steers was a Simbrah X Angus steer. Now I know you will say it was the Angus in him but he still had some Brahman blood in him. Just send me a PM with your fax number or I could get them scanned and e-mail them to you, what ever you like.
Thanks,
Matt
LOL Son I dont talk for LaAngus but I can speak for me..I dont have any use in seeing the closeouts from your 2 horse trailer loads of cattle. Your right that Angus cattle can help cover up a lot of junky influence tho. 1 steer that had a good net could be nothing but a fluke...or a steer that was just bought right..1 steer means nothing to me son...accidents happen all the time. If you really thiik your going to impress somebody with that your talking to the wrong man anywhow...you need to be talking to the cattle procurement guys at the big 50 to 100,000 head feedlots that dont know eared cattle are such a good deal for them an their customers. LOL There the dumbies that need your help since they dont know what there doing
I know you gusy in the south think you need some ear in your cows...i understand that..but you need to own up to the fact that you give up quality when you do that....eitehr feeding quality or carcass quality...even eating quality. You might make up for it in the net returns because your cowherd does better tho. Thats okay just admit that if you want good cattle you have to get out of the south..everbody knows that. Maybe 1 of these days you guys will learn that raising humpty dumptys is a losing proposition...you might as well raise good calves
