[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 810675, member: 7398"] The best registered cow I own cost me $1100 bred three years ago. I've paid $2500 for 3n1s that same year that didn't pan out. Do your research, take your shot with what you know, but the price does not dictate quality. Also, if you're going registered, don't be afraid of age. With age you get more data on progeny for proof of quality and a lower price. Registered heifers and bred heifers are almost ridiculously high and have no proof. If I were starting again, I'd buy a group of 5-8 year olds with some data and proof, ai, and retain my heifers. Actually, I don't retain my heifers much either. They sell for twice what a 6 year old with proof sells for so I sell my heifers and buy older cows. The heifers I sell OUGHT to be great and worth retaining, but a cow ain't great till she's been great. [/QUOTE]
