[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 991058, member: 17767"] I agree. I just bought 2 open heifers in December that are purebred simangus from Rocking P Livestock. They go about 900 pounds each. I paid $2000 for the pair. That is slaughter weight prices at the stockyards. They were not the pick of the herd and I know Keith was giving me a break. But you are correct. If you work at it, there is no reason you cannot build your herd with good stock. I also will say that I have a couple nice cows that I got from my brother that are just cows and they are as good as you would want for commercial cows. Not everyone has the same objective or philosophy. I take pride in my cows. I have an image of what I want my herd to be. To put down purebred stock is silly. Just as silly as saying that non-purebred cows are no good. You also make a good point on being in a position to work both ends of the market, commercial and breeding. [/QUOTE]
