Okay you got me! Ofcourse you take your culls to the sale barn. But, excluding culls, what percent of your product is offered at the local weekly sale barn event. Small percentage I suspect.
I wasn't trying to 'get you', just answer your question. You're right, except for culls, the percentage of the girls that are sold through the salebarn is very small.
I'm just envious that you have the where-with-all to support a registered operation and are able to market your product thru breeder or other special sales or individual contracts.
It took a lot of years to get where we are. Dad's been doing this for better than 50 years, we've only had registered stock for about the last 25, we bred up from Black Angus. Hang in there, you're time is coming! ;-)
There's a nitch for all producers. Gives me a good feeling to be a small peg in our great supply chain. Together we can supply much of the world with quality beef from black/red/or other...
It should!
