As far as your rancher friend, the feed lots aren't a bad thing. They can finish off with grain and hay 400 and 500 pounders where we used to be well advised to take em to at least a thou. This gives us greater flexibility in some ways so when you go to sale you may not have nice homogeneous lots or some stringers you just want to dump. Or maybe even the ones that need finishing. You can run the stringers through at end of sale for instance and the old Rudnicks, or Harris's, etc. will pick them up very cheap but at least you get something to lower your over all cwt costs. We used to be at Hanford or even WSM every week. With feed lot operations coming in you can save up some of the crap and know that you won't have to bring em home again. At least get something. In a way, I'm glad I never got big enough to have to condone or even look the other way at the abuse. I have a soft heart (OK Sage, quit laughing) and it just kills me to see some of it. Ranching ain't like on TV....
