[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1239407, member: 9096"] Kathie also has quite small framed animals, so I think they're doing quite well. My neighbors went to a bull sale on Tuesday.. there was NOTHING under $5000.. even yearlings.. you get to the 2 year olds and they were $7000 and up They went home empty trailered, but with full pockets. This is the reason I wasn't so keen on getting rid of my yearling bull.. should my main bull fail, I may not need to run out and buy an expensive animal right away. That being said, we've always bought good bulls, and have had several reserve champions from big shows, and in the end it shows in your herd for generations. I take pride in my herd, and despite I'm not going to be chasing big names in pedigrees for the sake of resale values, I like looking at nice animals, and no, none of mine are perfect, but after spending an hour at the sale barn I sure have a smile on my face when I come home and see mine! I've had a few visitors here lately, and the also appreciate my animals, from the docility, build, and meatiness of them. Despite having quite a mix of breeds, we've had certain criteria a new bull has to meet for coloring and build, so when I go to the sale barn, I can put together decent sized lots. I always thought the proof of a bull isn't in his kids, but his grandkids, so yes, to sell me a bull, touting his maternal traits would be the ticket. Good udders, running gear, dispositions etc are things that are going to show for years to come... especially if I'm keeping his daughters for 10-20 years [/QUOTE]
