[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1469886, member: 24016"] It's pretty hard for someone starting out to make money selling registered seedstock. It is a "Name" game, and until you have a good reputation and recognition built up, you will have difficulty getting seedstock prices for what you are selling. I would start with cross bred females bred to a purebred bull (both of composition/ breed that works well for local markets and environment). Focus on producing calves that have real performance and make money on the rail first, and retaining females that have the attributes you place emphasis on. When you have a good base of females built up (after some diligent culling), start using a registered bull from a breed that has a breed up program (Limi, Simmi, Chi, Maine, Char, etc.) Then you can begin building up the number of registered animals in your herd while phasing out the original females as they age out. By the time you have calves with papers on them, you will have enough documented performance and time into the deal, you can make a reasonable foray into selling primarily seedstock. If you are a multi millionaire, just buy a bunch of registered Angus females and let it ride!!!!!!!!!!! ;-) [/QUOTE]
