[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 625442, member: 6797"] I am not even going to get into the bull discussion - I know bulls fairly well and yours does not get the head nod from me - lots of folks here will be happy to tell you why. This statement made me chuckle - what is a two year old worth? The answer is as follows: Unless he has the right breeding, conformation and temperment - he is only worth meat price at best. Never buy something that will make up half your herd just because it is cheap - [i]unless of course you do not care what the selling price of the calves will be[/i]. Your present lot of calves will all sell. You just might not like the price. Load them - ship them and take your wife out to dinner on the cheque. Heck I once sold a 2200 pound bull for 4 cents a pound - and he was dynamite compared to yours. In this regard, the producers first loss is almost always their best loss. Hanging on usually - not always - but mostly - is the most expensive solution to a bad situation. Toss them and start over. If you need an animal just to freshen cows - then keep him - knowing what he is to be used for. Otherwise - trade him off. Your stock agent: He brings you an animal like this? Then you tell him to not come back again. Time for you to do your own buying. I think your stock agent believes you to be an easy sale when times get slow. Not the type of business arrangement I would like to have. Take care Bez+ [/QUOTE]
