[QUOTE="AussieLim, post: 1035698, member: 17520"] Geez I know why they call u Rowdy! You really don't read people's posts properly. Our calves are sold at 10mths up slaughter. No more growing once dead, hence late maturing, large frame would be inefficient for my operation. Granted I accept that u are breeding an animal targeting the feedlot sector & you will need some frame (coat hanger to hang meat on) and a bit of late maturity so they don't lay fat down to early. The moral of this post is one type of cattle doesn't fit all markets and frame isn't king for a lot of markets, so preaching what works in your backyard isn't the be all & end all! My Limo X Angus fit my early finish grass/milk market & if weaned correctly will grow on in a short fed (feedlot) market. Take the time to know your markets & if your selling weaners in a sale that are bought by feedlots you are kidding yourself if you think they don't keep a record of who's calves perform & whose are poorly bred. That's how you get repeat buyers year after year & build demand. This reputation & demand i have seen first hand with our breeding ewes that we sell in a feature sale. Our ewes now always make $50-$100 per head more than the average. [/QUOTE]
