[QUOTE="oakcreekfarms, post: 911432, member: 3177"] Alan I am doing the same thing, over 80% of my cows go directly to sandhill cows or bulls. He is one of the most trustworthy men I have ever been around, and I consider him the best mentor around. I was 21 when I first met Kevin, and he spent hours talking with me over the phone. If you want to move your herd forward at some point you have to spend some money. Not huge money, but go spend the money to buy the bull you want. Or buy the $100 semen and raise one to use that suits you. Either way you have to invest in your cattle. The semen is quickly becoming the cheapest thing we do to invest in our herds. I truly believe that he should be used. And yes I was disappointed when the price came out that high. It will limit his use, and he won't be as big of a factor as he should be in the future. However, when you spend 25,000 you want to make back some of your money. However, that is only 500 straws that they have to sell to make all their money back. A person might be able to get semen from one of his sons selling this year for a discount. However, they both may go for the same amount as their sire. [/QUOTE]
