[QUOTE="VanC, post: 358668, member: 3355"] You make some excellent points, and I can see where maintaining a reputation and making money might be a tough balance to maintain. I didn't mean to imply that a lower quality bull would automatically be a sorry looking thing that sires sorry looking calves, although that would be in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. Here's the scenario I sorta had in mind: Joe has 25 cows. He wants an Angus bull, but can't afford to pay $3000 and up for a really good one and still make a little money. His neighbor is a top notch Angus breeder and gets top dollar for his better stuff. What's wrong with him keeping back a few lower quality, lower priced bulls for people like Joe? It could still be a decent bull, just not one of his better ones. Would his reputation suffer? Should it? [/QUOTE]
