[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 1249016, member: 17248"] I don't think the time of the small registered breeder is over. I think the diffrent environments that we raise cattle in make the small breeder relevant. I shop for hereford bulls with a local breeder and I choose his home grown bulls over his AI bulls. Why its not becaause their epds are better because they aren't. I choose his home grown bulls because I know if he kept them that they do really well on infected fescue. It does me no good to bring in a bull from a great Montana bull or Texas ranch bull and to have it in the shade and limping and losing a tail because it is on fescue at my place. I know if this local guy has a bull he saved to use it has thrived on fescue and he has taken the guess work out of it for me. A big registered breeder can't offer that. All his bulls and heifers are slick haired and happy on my place andno limping. [/QUOTE]
