[QUOTE="CPL, post: 810168, member: 6346"] IMO 2500 is not bad for a quality registered cow/calf pair, especially if the cow is bred back. Yeah those 1500-1800 "registered" cows might seem like a "good deal" but their average (or in some cases below average) progeny don't do any good in trying to build a good cowherd/reputation. The registered deal is very much different than commerical operations. Its just like any other economic situation, the higher risk (in this case paying more $$ for a cow) can be justified by the potential for a higher reward (more $$ for their progeny). Quality > Registration Papers, so I would reccomend that if you're going to go into the registration deal you do your fair share of research on Livestock Evaluation. It does not matter whether they have papers, are out of a great bull, or anything if the quality is not there. [/QUOTE]
