(genetic evaluation data, performance records, financial records, notes on customer interactions, show ring per- formance or feeding trial results) is an essential part of keeping a purebred cattle business viable. They welcome change. Complacency is the No. 1 threat to a successful business. The assump- tion that a purebred cattle operation will continue to be successful simply because it has been in the past is unwise. The pages of past Santa Ger- trudis Journals and Santa Gertrudis USAs are full of advertisements from operations that were extremely suc- cessful in their day but are no longer functioning today due to an unwilling- ness to change or reluctance to adopt new technologies and practices. There is no doubt, the structure of the beef industry has changed and con- tinues to evolve. Has your marketing strategy changed as well?
