[QUOTE="novatech, post: 649325, member: 5494"] Seems to be a fairly common practice with the big name breeders. They usually divide the expenses for collection at the same percentage. Large breeders cannot afford to retain every bull to see how they turn out. They certainly cannot afford to show all of them. It makes good sense to sell higher end bulls off the ranch in order to gain a good reputation. There are many buyers out there that will go along with this because of the politics involved in the show business. With some breeds the brand on their butt will go a long way into making a champion. There are breeders that just want to retain some of the genetics they worked for years to produce yet still need to generate the cash flow to stay in business. Personally I retain some breeding rights on any bull I sell. May be straws or may be taking some cows to the bull. At present I am using a bull I sold as a clean up bull. The buyer has no use for him at this time so it worked out for both of us. In a few months he will be putting him on some heifers. [/QUOTE]
