[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 346004, member: 694"] Remember this you are going to haul most of those calfs to the salebarn. Very few calfs are seedstock animals, I carry papers on all of mine in my backpocket in case I get hit with a pain. You are trying to play in a big money game that takes years to get a reputatation established. It doesn't cost anymore to run purebred versus commericial but it cost a heck of a lot more to set up a purebreed herd. Lot of difference in a 800 dollar cow and a 2000 dollar cow and both calfs bring 500 dollars at the salebarn. Secondly I have seen it when gert's Simm's Char's Brammers, Herfs were the cats meow right now its Angus. This to shall pass. Not to discourage your dreams I know one seedstock breeder that runs about 25 head and makes money. He is in a niche market for his breed if you want one. So I quess the real question with that small of operation are you going to be filling a niche. [/QUOTE]
