Hey Folks,
We've got a smoking calf we're planning on taking to National Western this year - he's a purebred Gelbvieh, so hopefully everyone sticks with me here
I know what it's going to cost me to find a herd bull of his same caliber, so I'm thinking of keeping back natural breeding rights on him and just marketing semen packages. Has anyone had any experience in this? I'm sure Justintime has been down this road. I'd like to hear some of your experiences though and recommendations for things to do and not to do.
My thought is to begin marketing him now through flyers, website, video, etc. Also market him once we get down to Denver. Looking at selling 500 straws total - 10 packs of 50, or 20 packs of 25, or some combo in between. There is also the possibility of doing the same thing in Canada next year and marketing another 500 straws of Canadian approved semen.
