[QUOTE="rwtherefords, post: 152205, member: 778"] I disagree! That is the illusion big name breeders thrive on perpetuating. The $75 certificate bulls are from big name breeders. Big names aren't the only sources for good quality bulls. I have the same genetics in my herd as the big name breeders in my area, but I cannot command the same price that they get. In fact, all of my stock have the same genetics found in the bigger name breeders herds that command $75 certificate prices! People pay more for big names because that's what they recognize. Delmonte green beans or Jordache (sp?) jeans aren't necessarily any better quality products than other brands available. Quality isn't the issue, brand recognition is. Now, if you're your objective is something other than creating top quality cattle (say, developing name recognization in a pedigree), I could understand paying the high dollar for bull semen. There was a whole other thread discussing the huge ranches with large advertising budgets, that "purchase" demand for their stock throught aggressive advertising. [/QUOTE]
