[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1721694, member: 32659"] I would be all for a local marketing strategy KY Hills speaks of. The end consumer would have a much better product, the calves would be less stressed, and the overall impacts of sickness from trucking and comingling Cattle would be greatly reduced. I think we would still have the same issue though. I know allot of producers and maybe 5% want to mess with weaning or backgrounding these calves correctly much less keeping them until they are ready for a butcher. It's like they see a few dollars walking around and it's burning a hole in their pocket. Most sing the same old song about not being able to afford it or not having the facilities. So if the producers aren't willing to change what they are doing which, I believe most have proven an unwillingness to change. What good is a different end product marketing strategy going to do? Again it goes back to the one way window people look through. [/QUOTE]
