[QUOTE="Gate Opener, post: 369573, member: 4032"] When we were starting out we didn't have a bull. We paid $50 for the bull to service the cow and then $2 a day for feed and we paid for any meds they gave the cow. When the bull came here, we paid $50 per cow. We didn't have but a handful of cows then. Once we got more we bought a bull. I would charge him a daily feed charge otherwise you may have those cows for a very long time. You never know people until money is involved. Have an understanding on when he is expected to pick them up. A Date. Then charge what you feel is right for the breeding. If he does you right on it this time then you could always adjust the price later. Remember you will probably be liable if something were to happen to those cows while in your care. That is one of the things I didn't like about using someone else's bull. They told us if anything happens to him you will have bought him. That was right in my eyes except I always wondered if that included something beyond our control such as him having a heart attack or something like that. We decided it was better to get more cows and our own bull. [/QUOTE]
