[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1262200, member: 18809"] Since you run a commercial herd, it sounds like you know about cattle already. The only difference between registered cattle and non registered cattle is the papers. If you want to get your kids involved in showing, getting a nice registered heifer to start with is a super idea. Another option is to buy a few embryos, and put them in your commercial cows. Then, let the cows raise the calf and you register it. You can pay a little more for heifer sexed embryos, and that way you do not have to mess with the bulls. As far as selling, you will need to develop a market for your bulls. Not every bull calf born will make a good bull either. We sell most of our bulls by word of mouth, and I also use Facebook and Craigslist. $2500 sounds cheap for a bred heifer, registered or not. But no matter what the price, if they are not nice looking they will never produce show heifers for your kids, period. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
