Comments (49)Agreed with Patrick, apples aren't being compared to apples here, in fact there seems to be a whole mish-mash. In particular, you simply can't compare profitability of sides of beef marketed direct from the farm with beef produced for the packer. Those of you who have the opportunity to grow and market for an enhanced niche should be congratulated for your efforts and success. I have no doubt you are producing a superior product. But for every farm-marketed side of beef in this country, there are 10,000 going through the packer, and there's no way to compare what you are doing, to the efficiencies required to produce a particular frame and finish for the feed lot or the packer. No matter how you look at it, TIME is an expensive input even if you're content to leave it out of the equation. Those of us who do not have the inclination to direct-market must necessarily look much harder at whether or not our cattle perform in the necessary frame, yield and time window. As for our friend Bulldinkie -- I wish I had one cent for every time you've started a post with "We have Longhorns" in the past ?what's it been? 5 years here? Trust a few of us to remember, eh? The same thing I talked about above holds true for the "value" of the heads, necks and semen of your stock. You CAN'T compare earnings from showing and selling breeding stock to earnings on the rail. A very small percentage of the cattle-raising public own pedigreed breeding stock, even fewer show it. You yourself may sell to other people who want to breed, but in the end, somebody's gotta be buying the cattle for food. Otherwise it's a pyramid scheme. At the packer, your heads, necks and semen are waste. Dog food. Nobody here tried to say that your breeding stock wasn't valuable, just that your stance and reasoning didn't apply. Not apples to apples. And Dink? Go back and read s-l-o-w-l-y what Roxann said. She wasn't making fun of you, wasn't insulting you. She was trying to be friendly, and trying to let you know she thought she remembered things you've talked about in the past that interested her. She was in your corner till you stomped her. Now go ahead and stomp me....See MoreWANTED: Taxas Longhorn Peas
