[QUOTE="vs_cattle, post: 441244, member: 4431"] Your situation is great for starting a club calf operation I would invest in some great dams breed or your choice start with as many as the budget will alow. Then buy some semen of the best bulls out there with great bloodlines and winning records and breed them to your dams and repeat this breeding proccess every year. Once you got some good looking calves have your two kids show them and market your operation remember not all calves are show quality. Once you get kids in your area calling you dont try to make a quick buck sell them the best animals you have at the least price possible ( Dont give it away but beat your compitions price) Pricing is one of the most import factors of a kid buying an animal so be careful with the pricing. Once you have sold a certain amount where kids know your the place to go for a oustanding animals for the price they will start comming more and then your calves can ask a higher price little by little. You also can offer different services such as halter breaking the calves, clipping and fitting for first show, help with feeding rations, financing, buy back program of some sort, help with breeding, give $50+ for every class winner/ grand champ or something along those lines, you could pick and choose what programs also work for you GOOD LUCK [/QUOTE]
