marketing of angus is very strong. i personally like shorthotrns but they get mauled pricewise at the market worse than SP and and herefords,Great to seeall these breeds.
Unfortunately we get raped in oz if it aint angus, herefords and speckles do sell at auction but can be fair discount and last week i seen 520kg hereford steers passed in and angus same weight sold to strong competition.
Question, do you guys sell steers/hiefers direct to processor where carcasses is graded and priced or sell through marts?? And do you get a fair price compared to mainstream breeds?
All i buy is angus or angus hereford, red angus if cheap, and im no angus fan lol...id much rather red devons etc.
Ant...
out neighbor has pinzgaurs , cant for the like of me see how he even covers his costs, which he likely doesnt?? they are nice looking cattle but there is zero demand for them,
angus are a pain at carving time as they all look the same,
