[QUOTE="usernametaken, post: 458773, member: 6820"] That is your problem. Everybody in the Angus breed, more or less A.I.s with the same 100 or so bulls. I have seen Bon View New Design 1407 daughters sell for $100,000 plus; but he has 25,000 such daughters out there for a buyer to pick from. WHY would he buy yours when half of the established brands in the breed are selling heifers with virtually the same pedigree (and expected EPDs) as you are selling. I never said you can't succeed, just never believe that you can't fail.[/quote][/quote] Ohio River - I think you just explained what all the "doomsayers" are trying to get across.
