[QUOTE="dun, post: 733311, member: 34"] Doesn;t hurt to start with a few registered cows. At least you know whre you'll know where you starting from. You can use them as a base for a good crossbreeding program or for producing your own replacments.It may cost a little more to get started with them (or it may not). If you decide to sell registered cattle join your state breed association. Most of them have an annual sale and sometimes multiple sales in different parts of the states. You can still sell any you don;t think are good enough to register as feeder/slaughter calves. At the registered sales you may not get the very top dollar the first few years, but eventully if you have quality cattle you'll be up there with the majority of the producers. I wouldn;t even mess with trying to market bulls that way until you have started getting the good prices for your females. [/QUOTE]
