How Nice s Champion Hill Angus?

[HughesFamilyCattle]

Bought my son a heifer in their April sale and just got a box in the mail this week thinking it was a part I had ordered for my tractor I thru it in the Farm truck cab. Got in the truck yesterday and noticed it was from Champion Hill Angus? It was a custom made hat for my son with thier Logo and the Cow's Name on it! And my son's name on the back. Wow, in all my years in the cattle business I've never seen anything like that. Of course I paid a lot for the calf but you have to at all these top end Angus farms and we sell Registered bulls (here in Ky) and for the most part that's the game you have to play to get top end for your bulls you need the mom name behind them. The Hills are truly nice people and seem to really care about people.

Thats such a nice touch, not a lot of breeders / farms will do something like that no matter how small a gesture its all good PR

 

[AussieLim]

That is nice, however there is one certainty now....you or your son will return to buy cattle in the future.
Now that's marketing! Nice all the same

That's pretty cool and a great marketing strategy. :welcome:

Great idea on thier part. Your son will now be a walking billboard for them and you will join a cattle forum just to tell the world how great they are. :tiphat:

You are absolutely right! I was sneering at his admission of buying females just to stick a name in a pedigree with no real propotency. Just becomes sales BS with no actual intimate knowledge of the animals behind the name.

It is what is I guess...,

Well Champion Hill does have Very Nice Females and if you look at a lot of the SAV bulls that are topping Registeration today they are full of Champion Hill females.... So I didn't buy from them just for the name only....my son's cow's mother was the top Angus "Show" female of 2009? Georgina 4402, and his cow's confirmation is excellent.....she may never be worth anything as a brood cow but all I can do is Breed the Best to the Best and hope for a quality offsprings

I don't see anything wrong with it, if they are buying quality animals and have a marketable name.

Same thing as any consumer product if you can sell a brand it makes sense to do so. We are all in the business of making money I do believe. Hard for me to knock how somebody else is doing it as long as they are actually making money.

Depends on when you get the cap. Before or After you make the purchase. :cowboy:

Best "gift" I ever got from anyone was an old dairyman I bought some home grown dairy cattle from. When I loaded the last load he told me "If you don't like the way they shyt in the barn" bring them back. and pick you out a replacement. Never once had to return one for any reason.

It was at least 2 Months after the Sale. Now they did give my wife a logo feed scope when we paid for the cow. ( but she's using it to bring Chicken Eggs from her little Coop )....... Not in the show barn as probably intended for! Check out Champion Hill's website some time and look at all the Donor Cows they have. They are in the same breath as Express Ranch and SAV Angus

Went to the site, looks like they should be paying SAV a royalty. With all that show talk maybe the feed scoop was a more telling gift.....

True, I believe they have a Genetic Partnership. It's a long history between the two breeders.
