[QUOTE="New-bee, post: 452999, member: 5775"] Hi to another beginner. Went to the Riverbend Sale and the first heifer female sold for $210,000. Great looker, strong pedigree and 2536 grand-dau. She will undoubtedly be used as a donor. It looks to me like there are a couple of keys. First good breeding which can be done by almost anyone who is willing to purchase a really good cow or heifer with the proper pedigree and numbers and then use good bulls. But the second is developing the sales strategy to draw the buyers. Our operation is not quite a year old so we are still developing our strategies. But we purchased four females (three pregnant with calf at side) at the recent Riverbend sale including a really great seven star Mile High 3718 heifer with three quality markers including a double on the fourth marker. So we doubled our herd for about $2,000 per individual, and now we have three really great females with outstanding pedigrees, good rib-eye's and good IMF. And in the next two years our breeding strategy should produce seven more $B = 50+ offspring, three blending the 2536, 2104, 4206 and 558H cow genetics with the Predestined, 1680 and EXT bull genetics are expected to have $B values exceeding 56.0 which may qualify them for consideration as "Elite" crosses.
