[QUOTE="tapeworm, post: 238539, member: 1094"] "Lot of farmers want to make money on their herd. Make money on each cow, and the herd will take care of itself." Young lady that is so true and is good advuice...as long as we dont forget 1 thing..the real cattle business after we leave the cowcalf side is a business of aveages..averages based on 1000s of head here and 10,000s there...we cant focus on indivbiduals to the point that we dont cash in when the averages are right. Example I ahve a pen of heifers that I would liek to get choice premiums for so i look at each of the poor doing individuals to determine slaughter date knowing the top end will already be there. My focus on those individuals at the bottom end makes the whole pen take yg discounts because the top end was on feed to long..and I LOSE money Focus on the individuals as seedstock breeders and as cowcalf producers..but let the averages be your guide after that. Dont know if the college boys would say thats right or wrong but thats my philosphy [/QUOTE]
