[QUOTE="LittleValleyFarm, post: 1262175, member: 17291"] I've had a commercial herd that I share with my brother-in-law and father-in-law for 5 years now. We are turning out some nice cows these days and I really enjoy the work. I am considering buying a couple bred heifers that are registered so I can open up another door in the market for me, as well as eventually having some show calves for my kids. I have a friend who runs an all registered herd, some pure angus, and some sim/angus. He has two bred heifers, one all angus, and one 50/50 sim/angus. The pure angus has been AI'd to Absolute, the son of Final Answer. The sim/angus has been bred by his 50/50 sim/angus herd bull that he bought from Yon Farms in SC. Questions: Is 2,500/apiece a decent asking price? Is this a good starting point for a registered herd? How best to market a registered bull next year if I have one? (If I have heifers, I'm keeping them). Any other helpful tips for someone at this stage? Thanks for all wisdom! [/QUOTE]
