[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 614776, member: 8978"] Not sure how big the US cow herd is but if you reduced the number by 50% to accomodate the increase in grass yearlings you really wouldn't need to export anything? In fact a big shortage of beef would probably be the result? With proper genetics/breeds I think you could get a fairly decent/ weight finish on yearlings? They don't have to weigh 1400 lbs., could be more like baby beef 800-1000 lbs? This would further reduce supply. Does it make sense to over supply a market? If the cattle groups would really push the health aspect of baby beef and the omega 3 thing we might be surprized how the public might accept it? I don't think this whole concept has been pushed enough. Why aren't the medical profession saying much about the benifits of this "healthy" beef if it is true? Now I don't sell any fat cattle, but I do sell grass yearlings and I aim for 950 lb. In the present system they go to a feedlot where they put about another 400-450 lbs on through grain. Personally I don't care who buys them, a feedlot or someone who would wants to butcher them...as long as I get paid! I suspect though some breeds would fall by the wayside like Charlais, Simmental, Limo etc. and the old British breeds would become stronger. My cattle are becoming mostly Angus so it wouldn't hurt me. [/QUOTE]
