[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1527030, member: 968"] PB cattle sales are different than commercial. You need to build a reputation to sell quality PB. You "should" get more money, but some of that extra money is offset by more expenses (advertising, registration costs, etc). You can easily get into registered cattle using breeds that allow you to upgrade (like the Simmental). My heifer sales range from $1800 to $8000 - depending on quality and quantity. But, I have invested 50 years and have somewhat of a good reputation. Bull market is not big here in NY like it is in KY. But, steers (which is basically 1/2 your calf crop) is worth the same as the next guy - paid by the pound. Bottom line, most Registered cattle are worth more, but require more "homework". So, depending on your marketing skills, it can be extremely cost effective - or not. [/QUOTE]
