[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1167052, member: 14661"] The butcher stuff is what I'm talking about. The dairy cattle always sell well because we have such a strong dairy community here. I don't worry about the heifers at all because my customers think about like I do and won't watch one sell cheap, especially when she's an animal that they can use. ;-) As far as breeding them, I don't do that for free as they keep records and tracking expenses is a big part of that but I use bulls that have famous name recognition that will sell retail for $50 and charge them $4 for the semen and $5 to breed the cow and then hand it to the ag instructor the next time I see him. :lol: That's a realistic price that a dairymen would pay commercially so that's where I set their price so they learn realistic cost in at least one part of the experience.
