[QUOTE="Wisteria Farms, post: 644800, member: 6734"] Qberry, I'm sorry I've been outside with this onset of good weather and didn't see your post.. great post. You understand the problem 100%. It is my understanding that we have gained some MGIA members...but I too would like to see a merge. However, again, it boils down to "you get what you pay for"...the recordkeeping for Breedplan does take time and I'm sorry, the fees that AMGA charges ARE NOT exorbitant. I too have traveled 10 hours to purchase breeding stock (and I would travel 20 if it meant greatly improving my herd)...however, with the new promotion campaign from the AMGA (and with our numbers growing) I hope there's a day that you won't have to travel that far. I'm really sorry. Please know, we bought our bull last year from the Midland Bull Test...(I have no interest in this so this is just honest, free advice)...at Midland there is going to be a sale on April....(I think 6th or 9th..will have look)...anyway, these are AMGA bulls that have been tested and you can get their EPD's...This is a FANTASTIC way to get a bull and the shipping is very very reasonable. The reason is because after the sale they send out trailer loads of animals across the U.S. and the shipping is shared by all...H Diamond Cattle (Justin and MaryAnn Holloway) are who we bought our bull from last year. They have several nice bulls in that sale as well as Eagle Rock (who are MaryAnn's parents). If you are looking, I suggest you go there. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask...we'll try to help you any way we can. p.s. I just looked in my book...are you Chipley? [/QUOTE]
