I sell at farmers markets as well. Pricing is a headache depending on the region and the economy but the main point is sell for profit and dont try to compete with grocery store prices if somebody whines they can buy it at the grocery cheaper tell them to enjoy their dinner. We do sell alot of...

There are good shorthorns out there and they work but they also have to fit the environment as well as any other beast. Robert mac explained it rather well. Shorthorns dont fit every place as like any cattle weather it be angus hereford chars or whatever. If i lived farther south or north i...

I know one thing is that the angus association needs to get a few fellas to learn how to use soapweeds knife. As a direct marketer also i fatten out angus hereford and crossbreds. I cannot cut enough fat off an angus steer to appease my customers. The best steaks that i have sold the last 2...

I love fescue will take it over any grass. But you have to manage it as you would anything else. Rotational graze it keep it from heading out and cant be beat. Keep a 20 to 30 percent legume in it like a white clover or a red. Cows do great plus its the best stockpiling grass in the world. As...

I use solid red, polled but horn is okay to, medium frame shorthorn bulls. I have black calves out of my angus cows and yellow or oarnge calves out of my char. cows. They outgrow my neighbors calves but thats also not a good comparisson. Anyway my char shorty crosses sold top of the market and...
