[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1539030, member: 24816"] Enenezer has a very good point, and so does Bright Raven. There is no quote right way I don't think. If I were going into registered stock again it would be cautiously and conservatively. Patience is a virtue that I'm still working on. It takes time and effort to build a reputable name and more time to achieve the prices you think you should have or close to. As far as the high rollers go I wouldn't even entertain the thoughts of achieving their perceived prices and accomplishments. The bar is always moving out of reach, but that can just fuel a desire to continue. Like Raven said integrity and honesty are the main things. You can make good long term friends in and around the industry. I have many good friends from my Charolais days as well as from Hereford, Angus and commercial cattle ventures. Recently had a disappointing commercial bred heifer sale, quality was probably my best yet overall, down markets are a sad reality. A couple days later my wife was having a conversation at her work, and found out that someone she works with has been buying some of our heifers for several years and again this year. They were very happy with them. Wife said she almost cried when she heard that encouraging word after such a brutal sale. I told her that is why we do what we do, to supply folks with cattle that we believe will work for us and ultimately for others. [/QUOTE]
