Right, just give up some time on the turn, but you get them cheaper.
Used up dairy cows make pretty good hamburger. Grandpa used to keep a second deep freeze just for that.
If you buy meat at Wal-mart, you are eating a Holstein cross most of the time. Lot of guys in the upper midwest feed dairy steers because that's what available locally. And that's before even touching cull cows.
On the buffalo note, a guy back home raised them for awhile. He tried to doctor a sick one once and it chased Doyle around while he was on his three wheeler until the buffalo keeled over from exhaustion.
I'd also like to note that boxed beef was sharply lower again this morning with packers puking cuts, with live cattle futures 350 to 400 lower and feeder off 700 to 800
Boxed beef prices have been backing up a bit as we get out of grilling season and the consumer has turned up their nose at the higher prices of beef. Starting to see packers discount to move into retail channels a bit.
Wal-Mart has made steps in that direction with the new packing plant in North Platte effectively only killing smaller dairy crosses just for them with a large new all cement outdoor lot in Dundy County anchoring supply for them. But Wal-Mart doesn't own either as of now. Integrating cattle is harder because of the labor and space required. There has been some looks at confinement cow-calf but it really hasn't taken off. (I've kicked the tires on putting up a hoop set up for myself, but can't shake the attitude if I go that far, I might as well get into dairying)
I’m watching a stream of my nephews play high school ball in Kansas tonight and it’s a single wing teams vs. a wing-t team and it’s fun seeing both teams just jam all 11 guys into the box and go full cro-mag football
So if we have no real physical description at this point, the break is going to have to come from the shooter either being a real loud mouth about intentions online or in person, or have failed in keeping traceable electronics off their person, right?
