Corey, I appreciate the Kudos.
Yes, we all have to turn a profit. It's also not easy (or cheap) to introduce something to new markets that can do so much in a pond.
George1 likes to call them a magic bullet, and they are in the right situations for certain goals. That is what makes giving blanket stocking rates immpossible. Every pond, goal, and climate is different.
Rex, in all fairness to you and Overton being friends of mine, and wanting both of you to be successful in your business, and to be fair with Mr. Hello, I wanted to share my successful tilapia experience with Mr. Hello.
As you say N.E. OK may be in a transition zone, Mozambique may be as successful as Blue tilapia.
Overton has a representative in N. Texas and a pick-up would eliminate a very expensive delivery charge.
Overton as well as you, has a vast knowledge of the various tilapia species and a reputation for supplying high quality fish grown out on his fish farm as well as out of state reliable suppliers..
I personally would ask for bids from both you and Overton.
Maybe Todd will chime in …..
