Its sold kinda like Avon. I dont know that much about it but it makes serious molla. They have bought a bull before with another farm for big bucks. Mr Herbster has made his money and from what I can gather has a true interest in breeding beef cattle. I actually chatted with him on the phone once. Nice fella.
I LOVE Tom Burkes picure he uses. I probably saw that guy a dozen times before I put it together. He has fogotten more Angus than I know. If you calculate that bulls BW EPD to shorthorn he would be a -0.4. ;D
Hard to ignore that kinda money. The fact that each year they out do themselves from the previous year is amazing considering the previous year. The cattle must work for someone cuz they keep coming back again and again. Somethin to be learned from that program and its sale IMO.
Supper time! Steak ;D
