As a small breeder, am I better off to go to a 'registered' breeder and buy stock from them or to buy from a guy that has that type of cattle but isn't registered?
if you want pureblood cattle you can buy from a reg breeder.as some will sell cattle without the papers.Bestoutwest":2cnfg19t said:As a small breeder, am I better off to go to a 'registered' breeder and buy stock from them or to buy from a guy that has that type of cattle but isn't registered?

Absolutely and politics out the gazoo. Go with some good commercial cattle, run a good bull and enjoy your cattle.
This is dead on. Unfortunately there are far to many people buying cull registered cattle and raising more cull registered. Then they cry about them not doing any better than their commercial cattle. Well who's fault is that?Caustic Burno":2iyatmbn said:[You should be only selling the best 20% as seedstock. The other 80% are salebarn bound and will never mash the scales like a crossbred calf.
