[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1579805, member: 24816"] With all due respect and no disrespect or criticism of the Deer Valley program at all, the statement that no one wants old cows or bulls is somewhat debatable. I agree that as a mainly commercial outfit now that I would not seek out to purchase large numbers of old cows, or even in my registered days I wouldn’t have. I can almost guarantee that the DV program is counting on folks looking for mature cows. Those cows will bring real well and the purchasers will be hoping for longevity of their newly purchased cows. It’s a good marketing strategy, I’m not against it at all. For my herd I look at replacements and additions as long term Investments. I want a cow to produce a good calf as long as she can until there is need to cull. I am in the business also of selling bred heifers. It is my goal for these to be top end commercial cattle, our customers are willing to pay a premium for those kind of heifers they don’t want to have to cull them within a couple years. [/QUOTE]
