[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1568309, member: 16453"] Don't be discouraged by negative comments. You seem to have good judgement as shown with your recent bull purchase, you weren't afraid to go to the top and ask questions there and you got a good hearing and advice and a good bull. You also seem to be educating yourself well, from what I have read you have a good knowledge of EPD's, you are off to a good start. Many ways to get going but certainly the easiest is with good cows. I would pick out a couple of top operations and try to source some of their older cows, even some of their old donor cows, don't be afraid if they are well into their teens as long as they are quality. While at these operations I would try and source some embryos as well to put into some of your existing cows. It is a long slow haul trying to breed up mediocre cows. Just remember your experience with Kelly Schaff, that is how you develop your clientele, I am sure you will be back at SAV. I was going to say good luck but luck doesn't come into it, it is the work you put into it and your attitude. Ken [/QUOTE]
