[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1301706, member: 16547"] angus9259 I'm sorry but that's pretty blunt there. It will be very tough to make money on 10 cows but registered cows would be easy as they should be worth more per head so in turn they would bring down overhead per head. I've owned cows my whole life. Done 5 different things with them. Finally stuck to my guns and went to mostly registered cows and focused on cows and not just bulls/sires. It took the better part of 10 years but we are finally turning some money. Sold heifers for average of $3050 last two years. Sold pairs for $3,500, bred cows for $3,000. Not huge money but I can't afford to have commercial cows for what we have been doing. Will I ever hit the big time? Time will tell but with Genomics around now really changed the game. 1 hair sample could be the difference in a $1,000 sale barn steer and the next bull who sells a million units of semen. [/QUOTE]
