[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 52805, member: 171"] i think that the registered breeders feed their cattle a little more extra to keep them in a little better shape. i have made my cattle make it on the bare bones of what the land provides. I also pamper my registered herd of Brangus cattle. top brangus genetics more than pays for the extra feeding. most guys that pay $2-4 thousand for a heifer and $5-10 thousand for a top donor cow want them to be in tip top shape. bulls that sell for up to $30,000 are not raised on grass alone(this may be news to most of you). I was just trying to get imput as to what most of you were doing. your average set of range cows that would bring $1000-$1500 per head probably doesn;t need the extra. Most registered breeders of Brangus average around $3000 per animal(AI and ET calves) [/QUOTE]
