There are several bull breeders in the state who also feed cattle. They promise to bid on your calves if you buy a high dollar bull from them. Do you have any experiences on how well this worked for everyone?

It is something I am going to institute this fall when buying calves. The only problem, is most of my bull buyers retain their calves to yearling, so I won't have much to choose from. Hoping it will encourage more producers to buy bulls from me though.
It can be difficult for some operations to pick out cattle that will grow out to make a good set of marketable animals. Buying back your own genetics can be win/win. :cowboy:
