| Some angles have changed some lately, but we
thought we'd leave page up for fun and pondering. |
| Note from
Webmistress: It came to our attention we got a little
behind updating this page. I guess it wouldn't hurt to do
that every 7 years or so. I mentioned that to Red and he
started talking. I ran for a notepad...I report...you
decide.... "The thing everybody
forgot about, and I don't know how to put it....and everybody
fell in love with that shit...the first thing you need to do is
make it profitable and thennnnnnn, make it more
profitable with all that crap they think makes it
profitable. But first you have to be profitable."

"Everybody thinks it's the consumers decision
that determines profitability. It's YOUR decision.
And cowboys don't deal with consumers and they should leave the
damn consumers to the professionals that sell MEAT."
--Red Miller, March 2, 2009

"Another thing people have
got to get through their thick heads is that PREMIUM and PROFIT
both start with the letter P, but they do not mean the same
thing. Would you like to sell Cadillac Escalades and lose
money or sell Yugos and make money?"

most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like
work."

It's good to "think out of the box", but you'd
better look back in that son of a b.... every once in a while.

"You
don't want to just go for the high premium, you want to go
for the high money."

I don't know about everyone
else, but I for one am getting real sick of
hearing the word PREMIUM in magazine articles
and bull advertisements. Premium
does not mean anything!
I
wish magazine editors, breeders, and feedyard
managers would quit comparing premiums and
compare profits. Then maybe everyone
will kick their feedyard manager in the hind
end and make him go back to work selling
cattle. Only then will we get to value
based markets. Comparing premiums
isn't going to work.
