[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 181161, member: 968"] It matters in my business. People want recognizable pedigrees on both sides, if going into their PB herd. Even show calves need pedigree in most cases - but can get by without if good phenotype & good EPD's. Actually the big bucks come out of cattle that are not only out of national sires but also national cows. Flushing is really getting to be big business. My cattle are backed with 35 years of AI - so yes, I am a believer. We stuck our neck out breeding so many of our cows to our homegrown bull. That was potential suicide :shock: but he is well known thru showing & AI books have him listed, and the calves turned out super -- so -- worked out just as we planned (phew) We'll see if his pedigree hurts us at the up coming sale in April.
