[QUOTE="Running R, post: 1610230, member: 39288"] Great advice!! I’m piggybacking my herd on the back of my son, a red angus seed stock producer. We AI ourselves multiple times with multiple synchings. It’s a pain in the ass but well worth it down the line. Thus, I have the luxury of selecting individual bulls from a galaxy of breeds and phenotypes to match my individual cows (I only have 20 presently). If they don’t stick they will be covered by my son’s RA bulls as pasture bred in the high country. He is a fanatic for genetics and EPDs so I have a killer red genome as a back-up that produces some serious heterotic calves. Our calves do well in the sale yard. I have no intention of showing or competing at any level but over the years I have sold my roans and coloreds for a premium. There were three people in my region who were selling clubbies and they stopped doing it. (One died, one liquidated and the other lost interest.) The market here seems to be open and unexplored. I will look back on Primo (I have a lot of experience with BA) and I will keep looking for that beefy Limi. Let me know if you have any of those ghosts you’d be willing to part with out of your secret tank! Thank you for sharing, I have a much better perspective now. Pete [/QUOTE]
