[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 511034, member: 173"] I agree with most of the above posts... you can pay high dollars for a calf that the breeder will tell you will win everything, and someone, somewhere will have one that is better. That's the nature of the beast. Also something to keep in mind.. many times a calf won't be as good as a youngster, and then as they get older start placing better. That's happened with calves I've sold more than once. (Simmentals and Simbrahs). A few years back I sold a Simbrah to a young man in central Texas. He placed in the middle of the class through the first year or so, but when the heifer got to about 14 months old, she won consistently. I've seen kids buy calves at the registered sales for $5000 - $12,000, but you have to keep in mind that at the Texas sales, the "made" calves bring high dollar. If you have a good eye, or know someone that does, you can buy a green calf for much less. [/QUOTE]
