[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 281918, member: 2705"] I'm not really up on what all has happened. I do know one thing though, if a guy wants to get into the purebred gig and get some good cattle it is ET all the way. So the method of buying good donors and using lots of recips isn't really ridiculous it is sound as long as you flush good cattle to good bulls. The problem with alot of breeders that fallout and have good cattle is that they way overextend themselves and end up with huge cashflow issues. Remember that a 57,000 dollar cow if flushed on a regular basis can cost another 5-10k a year and then it will be another year till you have bulls (and Steers) to sell and you have significant money into properly developing them. The heifers would make an excellent group to build a herd on but they are another year out past the bulls. I wish everyone luck in their endeavours but even luck won't compensate for unrealistic planning. [/QUOTE]
