[QUOTE="CosgrayHerefords, post: 705666, member: 8766"] I agree it is good advice 76, I was referring to user1's comments sorry if I wasn't being clear. Where I live the best way to make money is the show route. I can make more money raising show heifers and steers than I ever could feeders or range bulls simply because we don't have range around here. Occasionally we sell a bull to a commercial guy but for the most part all of our income from cattle comes from guys wanting show heifers or bulls that will produce these females and we have been pretty successful without using the mainstream genetics. Well I am wanting to take that to the next level and start competeting on the national level, and the way to do that is to use mainstream genetics. Also I am more interested in the show side of the industry and it is what I am most experienced with. However, I have to disagree with some who think the showring is detrimental to the production side of the industry. We all strive for the same thing in the PUREBRED industry. Sound, fertile, easy keeping females who produce calves with style and substance and who gain on grass and milk. I do believe the cross bred show industry has made others look bad with their outrageous birth weights and genetic defects. [/QUOTE]
