[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1652364, member: 24816"] There are good registered cattle and plenty of plum sorry ones, just like commercial ones. Sometimes those hot pedigrees and big number EPD’s don’t produce the results that they are promoted to. I got tired of paying for that piece of paper and numbers only to find out it doesn’t work the way it says in the pasture. I can raise them cheaper and I know more of what to expect from them based on their dams and sires. I will still buy bulls from time to time but have changed my philosophy on it. I no longer believe that more expensive is always better. I look at the individual bulls and then decide if one is really worth twice as much as another similar bull from another farm. Sometimes there is a big difference sometimes not much at all. [/QUOTE]
