[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 8064367, member: 615"] Really? Surely if you're getting 20 to 30p/kg more than the average in a sale full of continental crosses, my "wee" grass fed natives will leave more profit? Or how about a bit more detail before your answer? Punt feeding into lim, blue or charlie crosses for an autumn and a winter, then get your £3/kg and smile with £1350....... ......Or feed a good native breed home grown high ME and protein grass to 450kg at 11 month old, and gross £1100? Are you really suggesting £250 more a head would leave more profit after I'd paid the feed bill? And that's not even thinking about the extra feed needed for non native breed mothers! The issue is not how much per kg they make, it's how much MORE per kg that's NEEDED to cover the increased fert, feed and fuel input costs Without an increase, regardless of whether you're currently making £3/kg, or £2.50/kg for grass fed natives, NOBODY MAKES A PROFIT from store cattle out of sucklers [/QUOTE]
