In a production system issue by high costs, you make very difficult the use of basic ingredients (fuel, fertilizer, machinery, Labor, infrastructure, supplementation, etc.) increasingly more necessary is a type of cattle that can combine subsistence production. We continue looking back cattle... as in the allegory of the cave... thinking that increasing the size of the animals we will gain kilos, We are believing that the reflection is reality... we will win more kilos in a period of growing and finishing but will be at the expense of having less load fewer pregnancies, worst calving less milk, more cows unproductive, more deaths, later jealousy and tremendous difficulties when the weather is hostile. There are other options, as the crosses , the feedlot, but the low cost of maintenance of our cows is not negotiable.
Passing through the Argentine routes (We have polarized as well) We see in adverse seasons cows at risk of death, many times depending on climate bonanza, We are waiting for a timely rain or cold respite and the solution proposed by the sellers of genetics is enlarge the cows or bring semen from countries where the inputs described are extremely accessible!!!! There is a permanent dissociation (genetic psychosis) They explain that steers reach weights of export in short winter and that own sisters are rustic and of moderate size , producers understand the speech and buy cows and bulls by State body see players finished grass bosteando corn... In the end, Marketing is a powerful tool but we have another even more powerful: the reality.
