[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1552725, member: 24583"] Exactly. I haven’t put my eyes on them. I have however seen pictures and they are way above average. I hope to make the trip this weekend. Pictures look really good. I have looked at each animals individual EPDs on the breed website and they are good. Not top of the breed across the board but generally no more than 5 traits below breed average and most have 3 or less traits below breed average. Extremely motivated would be correct. It is a sale under duress. Long story short, residential expansion is creating liability issues that they are not willing to risk. It’s apparent that the have a very healthy portfolio and this was a hobby. They are also 70 years old. Very attached to their animals and are way more concerned about the welfare of the animals than the money. I stumbled upon them by pure accident. It’s something I have contemplated for some time but never thought my pocketbook would allow it. The breed is very popular. Bulls the quality of the ones I’m buying are in the $3500-4000 range here right now. The bulls I’m buying have excellent EPDs and phenotype, with 3 traits in the top 10% and 6 traits in the top 25%. They are a steal. One bull only has 3 traits below breed average. The other has 4 below. I don’t have any doubt I can sell the breed. Or the quality. But is it a worthwhile venture to be in the Seedrock business? Everything tells me yes. I guess Im just look for reassurance to make sure I’m not missing anything and to determine the best route. Should have mentioned earlier. It’s pick and pay. Don’t have any obligation to buy any certain number or any combinations. It’s whatever I want and leave the rest. [/QUOTE]
