[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 135848, member: 1346"] I think there are a lot of people out there Brandon, that just simply want a "calf" every year.... they don't care about quality, just as long as its alive. Case in point, my boss has a couple of bulls that are 3/4 angus 1/4 holstein and I was surprised but they went out on lease just like the other bulls did. If that is your goal, then so be it... but it's not mine. I'm not saying I have great cows, but I've tried to buy good quality and I want to raise a "good" calf not just "a" calf. If I bought a cow at a registered sale (and I think this is what the OP is talking about, taking her to a registered sale vs salebarn, if not then I have misunderstood) and she did poorly, one bad apple can ruin your reputation as a registered breeder because everyone would hear about it and not the other 99 you sold that did well. If it was me I'd sell them at the sale barn w/o papers. At least anyone who buys at a salebarn knows its "buyer beware". [/QUOTE]
