So that's a, we, we, we work really hard to do that.

It's by choice.

Yeah, it's by choice.

There is, corn would be a cheaper feed for us to feed.

And we can even add, you know, 4% into the feed and it not be detrimental to the gut or, and it can be really good for growth.

But there's a lot of, a lot of misconception about it.

And so we just took it out of our feed.

There are a lot of corn fat bulls out there and it leaves a nasty taste in buyer's mouth whenever they buy one and all of a sudden it's just melting like butter out there.

Yeah, and if you get one too much corn, yeah, whenever you get that corn in the diet and it ruins those bugs in a rumen, when they get to grass, they can't digest it, and so they just melt.

But with no corn, we're able to grow those cattle a little slower.

We're getting them to 18 months old, a little more of a regular pace.

We're not really trying to hurry and

We do.

East Texas would be very similar to you.

But where we're at, we're kind of on the brink of West Texas.

And we're kind of in that north central area where neither side really accepts us.

They're like, no, you're east.

Then the guys on the east side are like, no, you're west.

So we're in a really cool spot because we get about 25 inches of rain a year, which is the perfect amount to...

to be able to grow some really good grass, but not enough for that grass to get real washy.
