[QUOTE="Aero, post: 1742284, member: 2076"] Figure out how you will market the animals produced. Figure out what those customers want. Find a seedstock producer that has been selling to that kind of customer in your area. Decide if they have a plan and have a good reputation. If they are just using a bunch of AI bulls from big names that aren't in your area, you will have the same half-unadapted commodity all the other small seedstock guys are selling. If the goal is to sell some bulls every year, this is a proven method and should work with relative ease of marketing. If you are hoping to increase profit margin, this is probably the simplest way. At a minimum, buy the cows from a local breeder so they are mostly adapted to what you will put in front of them. To build your own "program" is a completely different path that takes a lot longer, is a lot more work, and is probably less profitable in the near future. [/QUOTE]
