Hello Brandon...its nice to see that at least your not taking up for sorry cattle or calling me names. LOL And we dont disagree on everthing..Ive read enough of your postings to know that if it was up to you that nobody would have any junky cattle...but it almost seems like you blame it on the feedlots because some of these gusy raise junk. I know what your saying about if feeders dont buy sorry cattle some of em would go away but in markets like these with feeder cattle numbers the way they are its not going to happen...they will fill up pens with whatever it takes to sell grain. But its a feedyard managers job to keep pens full so what does he do?? I think its up to the indivicual producer to have the integrity to want to raise quality catle..but we both know that money incentive helps give him that integrity. LOL
I also think your off on the the 5cents per pound you say is the difference in buying quality claves and sorry calves...if just a couple of us tell our buyers to leave the junk alone and push harder for the best calves that differnce will be closer to 2 bits a pound...dont you think??
One thing is for sure and I think you will agree with me??...when we get a few years down the road...and feeder cattle numbesr improve to where there is not so much demand for just anyting to fill up pens..then we will see that spread change even more. My thinking is that when that time comes we will see some of the largest spred ever between weaned precon load lots of #1 calves and sorry bawling humpy plain calves
