[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1328271, member: 24565"] Makes EPDs seem worthless, doesn't it? Big money sales are for advertising purposes or ego boosts. The average Angus breeder lasts 7 years. He/she gets interested, reads a bit, buys a few local gets more info and Angus ads and catalogs. Soon some will think that if they buy a high dollar or special herd prefix bull, cow, semen, embryo or whatever it will set them into a new level of production or pricing. We are up to year 3 or 4 of 7. So they anty up, pay the big bucks and find out by year 5 and especially year 6 that they got snookered by the advertising. By year 7 they are out of money or reality has stomped on all hope and dreams. Another one bites the dust but in those 7 years they have fed new money into the high priced market to support the folks who perpetuate the scam. And low and behold another seeker comes along in the 7th year to start their first year and start an Angus herd with a new source of money. [/QUOTE]
