You behave like one you get told , id appriciate if you quote me you talk properly and you will get proper replies if you are derogatory and prerogative dont be surprised if you get a reaction its not difficult
Eating quality is mostly ruined after the animal leaves the farm, no point paying for eating quality then ruining it.
take them to market, no grading system there, they buy what they see.
Yep. Farmers tend to follow what the buyers want. Makes sense
Ive never mentiond breeds, im unaware of which breeds would score highest on eating quality it could be your beloved limmys for all i know …… all i say is we sell a product that has no measure of end result … its daft the better it tastes the more that will sell but obviously plenty cant see the big picture beyond their own here and now .
not argued against it, if thats what buyers start looking/paying for I will do my best to provide.
Im sure everyone dose, for example i have a great buyer of hereford bull calves so i do my best to provide at a premium. Not to measure eating quality is like selling Morris minors and saying its what everyone wants as they buy them …. Someone comes along with Audi one day …
When they start paying us for it… then we will start capitalising on it. Until then, we will stick to producing what leaves a profit margin
Yes but they never will unless its talked about asked for . ….. commodity bung it out hard and fast is easy option for all really ..
We used to scan the bulls for IMF, eye muscle, fat depth quite a variation
Some of the old sketches were very realistic weren't theylook at some of those old paintings, very short legs and belly near on the ground, much sort after
how old ?
I did t say they dont …. And i dont think anyone ever wanted pot bellied any beef animal so stop been a bell end ok
To be fair, @Northeastfarmer was talking historically and @Henarar was talking about old paintings so I don't think your argument is relevant.
2 or 3 years
Mentality age right enough.
