I thought we'd already had this discussion before. I think it's incredibly relevant. We can't compete with deseret just buying up all the, um, preferably hued and bred stock. So we take some chances on some undersized or off-colored calves, lance a few pop eyes, and band them ourself. We have to maximize our maneuverability and operate in the corners and target our buys by identifying weights or regional markets currently undervalued that fit well within our operation. And pick up a few nuggets following the big boys through the cornfield. Then you get them started on harvesting championships as the final product.
Really, it's all spelled out by Allan nation in the stockman grass farmer.
