[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 7508912, member: 1646"] Absolutely, but then we start with the end in mind. If there was no such thing as a B/W bull calf, the AngusX heifer is the new ‘bottom of the league’. Well if you could finish them at R4s and hit 280-300kg and there were enough of them, couldnt they just be minced with main cuts put into foodservice. It’s just the route to market we lack... there’s a tidy penny in it for someone who can square that circle at the retail/wholesale end. Sexed semen is the nearest thing to a golden bullet that we have but the market demand needs to be created for the bottom of the league calves. Would love to see more cottage industry and direct sales. [/QUOTE]
