[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1737365, member: 32879"] With a fairly small herd of cows, I usually only keep a bull two or three years. After that I need to keep back some heifers and also enjoy a winter not feeding a bull. That is where I am now. Several years back I attended a sale like this and bought a Connealy Danny Boy son that was a little over a year old and had recovered from pink-eye for $1,700. This was a sale where most of the bulls were bringing $3,000 or more. He was an easy keeper and had great calves out of my crossbred cows. He brought back what I paid for him when I sold him by the pound. I do not really need a top rung bull but like the idea of good health records and predictability that comes from the bulls from these sales. At least you know more about them than one just going through the ring at the yards. Plus it is fun to just look around and plan for next year. [/QUOTE]
