[QUOTE="mtnman, post: 254603, member: 836"] Herefordsire asked: "In my lifetime I sure have heard a bunch of objections. What I found out, is most objections can be overcome one ethical way or another while still holding margins. I am not concerned with reputation objections for I am willing to pay the piper or the initiation fee. I ask for no special priviledges. Two questions, if you don't mind: (1) Would that be your only objection from commiting to me..Reputation? (2) Do you think you could sell the 1/2 interest for $200K the same as another has?" You obviously don't know how fickle the purebred insustry is. These cattle aren't bought because of what they do, they are bought because of what they might do. Once they are proven to do good or bad, none uses them anymore. 1) Yes, you have no reputation, no one will support your business with big bucks. 2) Nope, I know I can't. You can't either. Then Hill Creek pops off with "Old genes, I can't make money off of genes that were used over 10 to 15 years or more ago. No one is going to buy bulls from me, with Vindicator as the sire, old genes. I need to use genes that are from the present, like World Class, Red Oak, Governor, Boomers, and some others; not Vindicator. " His statement defines the attitude of many, many of the big money, big hoopla deals. They would rather risk NOT knowing anything about the genetics they perpetuate, than truly knowing. While prolapses are a bad thing, at least we know the faults of the bull. With Hill Creeks and Herefordsires plans, we know nothing, other than the iterim numbers will look good. mtnman [/QUOTE]
