yes I can see where that would be satisfying to have a nice looking herd and constantly improving it and seeing good quality animals that you raised and people coming to you to buy quality cows.
Don't underestimate the market for quality commercial cattle. Just because some one is commercial doesn't mean they are not improving their herd.
There are 3 groups if people that I come across. 1) the papered group 2) quality cattle at the right price 3) the "I just need a calf" group.
All are viable markets with opportunity. Most people don't know cattle that well. They do know what they can afford and how you treated them during the transaction.
