[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 705250, member: 7645"] Of course, you are making the dangerous assumption that the industry will want what your closed herd is producing today, 5 years from now, 10 years from now, 20 years from now. I think most seedstock guys would rather do it your way if they thought they could get away with it. The marketplace however is fickle. The buyers want the hottest EPD, the newest pedigree, the newest DNA test, calves from the bull who won the last fair, the then en vogue phenotype, etc. They want to be able too brag about their bull's daddy, his scrotal circumference EPD, his feed efficiency genetic marker, his height, his butt, his weaning weight, etc etc. A lot of seedstock guys have to spend a lot of money to bring their buyers whatever it is the buyers want. An Aero bred bull sired by an Aero bred bull and out of an Aero bred cow MIGHT be marketable.....and it might not. [/QUOTE]
