[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1105870, member: 18809"] I think you have more to gain by buying top quality embryos and putting them in your cows that you know are good dams. It takes a bunch to make a donor famous enough for others to want her embryos. I guess we should know WHY you are doing this? Is it to make money, by selling embryos yourself one day? Or to just make good quality cattle? We are in it to make good quality cattle, so we buy embryos from well known donors and sires and hope to get some great ones that we can put our farm prefix on. We want to be known for having some of the top genetics out there that perform well in the pasture and look good at the end of the halter. So what are you after in all this? You can buy some great embryos for a lot cheaper than a great cow, and that cow can die on you at any time. If you get a bull, and want a heifer, then at least you have something marketable and can reinvest that money from selling the bull to buy more embryos... that is our thought process. [/QUOTE]
