[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 182732, member: 968"] As I said, it matters TO ME. And yes, marketing is the main reason. And if I'm buying something, I want it out of "known" pedigree, so that the purchased cow is contributing genetics that will hopefully produce a great saleable product.. Now, I'm not referring to pedigrees of "hot" bulls that are all hipe, I want good sound pedigrees. I'm not afraid to try a young bull, with top pedigree on both sides, as I stated. And someone else stated nicely, if a farm has a solid reputation, and has been producing and selling national bulls, yes of course, their "clean up" bull's calves are probably as good as they get. I don't use a clean-up bull, but I would hope that my reputation would build to a point that it would carry my "clean-up" calves and maintain a good price. Bottom line for me, AI vs clean up = $$$$$$$ made or lost. [/QUOTE]
