Do these sales not have an uplift price?Probably pedigree breeders not wanting to buy the bottom end of a dispersal and commercial buyers seem to think pedigree herds are made up of heavy fleshed glossy cows, when the reality is that the bull breeders are often the more modest looking cows in the herd.
If starting off, I'd buy those bottom end cows every time and breed up from there, the big silky cows are probably going to be the end of the line and just breed worse than themselves.
The show cow rarely ever has a show calf, but to act on that you need to dis-own vanity
