[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 327716, member: 2095"] Star Lake sold a bunch of bulls for more than $2500 at their fall sale......

A new ATV is $3000-7000 and most of em are pretty much shot in 7-10 years (faster than that is you let kids mess with them). A good female siring herd bull is going too have daughters in your herd 17++ years after you purchased him and a you could still have 1/4 bloods out of him 30 years from now.
