[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1389251, member: 6543"] If you just want to be rude..... we were only in business about thirty years.... but when we used a good bull out of one of our top cows and he cleaned up after AI and bred another one of our top cows....the bull calf from that mating was very good....he did well on test but he had "a no name pedigree"...that is what a good friend at a bull stud told me....there were big names top and bottom as grandsires...we kept him and used him as well. We never had the goal of being a big league player. Our Motto was "Your Neighborhood Source Of Quality Angus Bulls" that identified our market and as a sixty cow herd at our max that was about all we could produce for. in the later years we cut the herd back to 40 cows and actually gained ground in production. We participated in the state bull test yearly and sold bulls there as well. we did have top gaining bull at test several times but since they were mostly of home breeding from a small herd they never generated bull stud interest and I was not into the marketing and cattle trading game enough to be a player. when we sold the herd, I notified my customers and they came and bought most of the cows right off the farm...One Saturday I had three customers walking thru the cows the same day at the same time and the only fair way I could find to arbitrate who bought what was to give them a price list and production information and say the one who gave me a number first had first dibs on the cow....they thought it was fair and actually they mostly picked different cows...
