[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 1400372, member: 9115"] My friend and renter of some of my pasture, Bill Conley of Conley angus, is having his bull sale today. Ask anyone around here, and they aren't going because they don't like his bulls. Talked to Bill yesterday, most the calls are coming from Canada and Montana. He said a lot from Canada. Bill won the pen of 5 at the Western Stock Show, lots of interest in those bulls. He hadn't been there in several years. Those bulls are selling. He has several well known bulls at Genex and Select Sires. Matrix, Lookout, Eagle Eye, just to name a few. So my question is, would you rather by a bull from a long ways off, or do you support your local seedstock producer? Do you feel that just because he is close, his cattle aren't what you want? I have even seen it in the plumbing business, the farther from home I am, the more of an expert I become. Granted, the average producer isn't probably gonna' be able to afford the top end bulls, but the lower end, which is probably what is purchased from a less known breeder, is affordable. Just wondered why this happens so often. Is it jealousy of a neighbor being successful? Thanks for reading, gotta' go chore. gs [/QUOTE]
