[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 152320, member: 2324"] Another two cents. The registration costs would only be a factor if you register the cattle. I don't want to argue the point of quality, but if someone has a bull of the same quality as CA Future Direction for example, you better start selling some semen. Around here, $1500 isn't going to buy you a real good bull. Closer to $3000 would be more like it. It still won't compare to 878, 1407, BR Midland, etc. These are Angus bulls so the names might not be significant to you. I just bought another clean-up bull, because I only AI the first time. He's a full brother to KG Dakota, but I still don't think he's equal to the original. Maybe some day. I don't AI because it's cheaper, I AI so that I have access to better genetics then I can afford. We also raise club calves, so it's easier to buy Heatseeker semen, then to purchase another bull. You also didn't list the possibility of the bull dieing, getting injured, stolen, lost, or just not being viable as a breeder. As someone stated earlier, he's also not proven. [/QUOTE]
