[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 478133, member: 9"] Money is from registered breeding stock from breeders wanting your genetics, color, and/or new breeders getting into Longhorns. Sale Barn sale: Expect flea market prices...I'll pass. Bulls for commercial cross-breeding: Expect generic prices since the commercial ranchers often try to lowball you on value, price. Nitch market: grass-fed, natural beef: 50 to 100% more selling price per pound than "commercial" beef. Horn/head mounts, hides, etc. Colorful pasture ornaments: Decent prices. Specialty longhorn breed auctions: Most are buyer's market. Only a small percentage command high prices (aka over $10K a head). The very top end sales (over $25,000) are IMO mostly result of "one-up-manship" bidding and status things. Otherwise: Longeveity, extremely easy calving, excellent browse conversion...will eat about anything, very hardy & disease resistant, "calf every year from every cow", gentle, easily trained, etc. [/QUOTE]
