[QUOTE="Rangenerd, post: 293337, member: 4971"] The differance between having a uniform lot of calves or your herd that has a little bit of everything is about $.05 per lb. As for buying the calf at the auction and raising him for your herd bull, how much is it going to cost you to raise him out, and keep him. I think that when you put it on paper you are going to find that $30 per head to get your cows bred to some high powered bulls is pretty cheap. Plus you know for sure what you are going to get. You can get nice bulls at the local auction but you need to know if they are buying a calf from a good herd that just wasn't cut, or if it is just a scrub that was someone elses problem. [/QUOTE]
