[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1829349, member: 24816"] That brings up a few questions that I would have before purchasing. While I have used and have no issue with using unregistered bulls, if I’m buying a bull I want a registered bull especially for that price. I know there are sone folks that run purebred outfits that don’t keep up paperwork, but generally speaking $3000 would get a pretty decent registered Angus bull around here and possibly even DNA enhanced EPDs. Does this Angus ranch have registered stock? If they do, generally here most people register their calves fairly early, it’s not very expensive under 9 months if I remember right. The Angus business is so competitive here that registered/DNA etc are a given. I would be a little concerned about possible carrier status of something like Developmental Duplication on an unregistered animal as maybe the reason for not registering him. Like I said pretty good looking bull, but might want to do some questioning about him before going too far just to be on the safe side. [/QUOTE]
