[QUOTE="Cattleman200, post: 181397, member: 951"] I think it would depend on your situation and which direction you wanted your program to go. I raise and sell registered animals and certainly in most cases animals sired by popular AI sires are worth more money in the long run. It also pays to keep up with the "HOT" AI bulls because offspring out of them have potential to be worth even more money. Most breeders do not own bulls that can sire calves worth as much as top AI sired animals. On the other hand I sell several bulls a year to commercial buyers and alot of them are more concerned with birthweights and eye appeal. Most of them really dont know about bloodlines and whats hot or not. It would also depend if you are selling everything or retaining females to try and improve your cow base quality. Heifers and bulls out of a son of a son of a popular bull bred back to another pasture bull would be going backward in my opinion. A progressive breeder should always be looking for ways to improve their herd. Circle H Ranch [url=http://www.chrlimousin.com]http://www.chrlimousin.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
