[QUOTE="shadyhollownj, post: 957573, member: 9320"] We started out with four 3 for 1s about 5 years ago of registered polled herefords. We AI most of our cattle and have 14 mommas now. We go to local state sales and have bought some nice heifers over the years to build our genetics. We have sold some heifers and two bulls. We keep most of our AI calves. We kept a bull with AI sires on both sides to use as a cleanup. Hopefully one day we will be on the positive from registered but we will see. I am actually heading to star lakes sale this month to step up our genetics. I feel like raising commercial cattle on the small scale it would be tough to make any money unless you build a good freezer beef customer base. Our hopes is to have calves we could sell for say 2000 a piece eventually to try to make something so its not a hobby. Taking our calves to the sale barn as commercial calves would be nothing but a moneypit for the small guy. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
