[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 315797, member: 1292"] Here's our schenario. We run 1 bull. Our only option to get rid of him when we need to replace him is the local salebarn. We aren't going to get diddly for him for several reasons. People often say an animal is at a salebarn for a reason and it ain't a good reason so they don't bid. People also worry about what disease they could be bringing home with that bull so they don't bid. There is no way of knowing what kind of calf he throws like birthweights, calving difficulties,etc. so people don't bid. Steer markets pay better than bull markets so we could bring home more money if we cut him first. We choose not to mess with cutting him and healing him up and taking the risk of something going wrong so we sell them intact. So the main reason for cutting them would be more money. [/QUOTE]
