[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 93551, member: 13"] For a small breeder, you might find combining the two is difficult. But everyone is in a different situation. Yes and no and maybe. Our experience is that you can sell a good Angus bull to commercial cattlemen no matter what the bloodlines. If you have performance information on the bull, that's even better. But the market for registered heifers/cows is other registered breeders and they tend to discount cattle sired by "unknown" or lesser known bulls. And half the calves born on my place are heifers. That's why we have a total AI program, at least at this point in time. I was there, too. It's about a four hour drive for us, so we got there just before the sale and left pretty quickly afterwards. I think they have the female sales at Marshall, TX (?), but don't hold me to that. Next time you log in, check your inbox here at cattletoday. I'm sending you the names and phone numbers of some people who have been involved with the East Texes group. Even if they're no longer involved, they can probably point you to someone who is.
