[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 398693, member: 4437"] I don't believe that a bull should ever be collected based solely upon his EPD's, however click on the link that I've listed in reply to Alan's question about his pedgree. Shurable has good carcass values and tops the charts on the Profit indexes, especially the Baldie Material index. A deciding factor about collecting him his will be the preformance of his prodige, with special importance place upon their birth weight and calving ease. LFF.... There are times when the perceived risk is higher than the projected return not to mention cattle breeding theory and experience dictate it would be premature to collect this bull. However, time is money and money is time....currently, the 10 year Treasuries return about 5-5.25% per year which are assumed to be no risk as they are backed by the full faith and credit of the US Dept. of the Treasury. Although these rates have recently climbed (bonds sold off), they are still historically very low. Therefore, the opportunity cost of the investment to collect this bull is not as risky as it seems, unless you have other debt not disclosed. For starters, if you can afford the initial investment it would be nice to have about 100,000 units of semen (let me know if you want to do an equity share). The profit indices are very strong. I noticed your name in the top bull calf list but I didn't say anthing but I am watching your bull and your operation. [/QUOTE]
