[QUOTE="CPL, post: 810238, member: 6346"] Ken- When did I say anything under 2500 would be flagged? Where did I say nothing under 2500 should be sold as registered stock? Basically what it comes down to is that the 2500 price range was thrown out there as a price that was too high for a registered pair and I simply said (or what I tried to say) is I have no problem paying 2500 if the quality is there. Now if you can find the same quality at a price less than that go for it, but typically at sales with large amounts of bidders thats not going to happen. It's not so much the price that I'm concerned about, its the typical quality associated with that price range. You're not going to build a progressive cow herd when you go out and buy the lower end cows at production sales. I would rather invest in higher quality cows and that typically means paying more per head.(and that's not to say deals can be found) Back to the original thread, I know of alot of guys who have commerical bred heifer sales and make out very well with them. The problem is you typically have to have the reputation, quality, and numbers to have a large enough sale to attract the bidders. [/QUOTE]
