[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1375179, member: 25776"] Not taking one thing away from your point, it is sound. I will add that you have to factor in your objectives and market strategy. If your market is fancy, high end cattle, i.e., show/seedstock, you better provide what the market in your area demands. The big demand here is for heifers AI bred to name brand bulls, and for bulls with name brand pedigrees, etc. And we both know some of those bulls are not proven. For example, in the Simmental breed, Cowboy Cut is the hot item right now, when heifers walk in the ring bred to him, they ring the cash register. The market is complex. At the high end are a lot of rich people who like cattle. Almost like collecting rare artifacts. I sold a heifer guaranteed bred to Uno Mas because the guy collects Simmentals with her facial chrome markings. After I sold her, a 76 year old man called and wanted her. He wanted the name of the guy who bought her so he could try to buy her from him. The reason was the same, he said he was 76 and on his last Roundup. He liked the style of chrome she had. [/QUOTE]
