[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1092709, member: 20580"] Below is sample of the bull sales from the 2013 Iowa Beef Expo sale which for some breeds are some of the bigger state association sales in the country. Prices may inflate/deflate based on area of the country but it's a good same for the midwest area probably. You probably find some higher and lower bull sale averages if you pay attention to breeder production sales around the country too. Really when looking for a bull it depends on the breed, type of operation, and budget so you very well could get a good bull in the 4-6K range who will make you some money depending on what type of operation you run and what goals you are trying to achieve. Speaking from the view of a purebred breeder when we are looking for a new bull we first identify what kind of genetics we are looking for then start looking at breeders who use the bloodlines with those genetics that we are looking to add. Usually it leads us to a breeder's production sale and depending on the breeder and size of sale you may pay a premium price to acquire the genetics you seek. Simmental: 72 head $3790.28 average. High Seller: $9000 Charolais: 34 head $3159 High Seller: $7000 Shorthorn: 24 head $3702 High Seller: $11200 Red Angus: 20 head $3885 High Seller: $6600 Gelbvieh: 7 head $4843 High Seller: $13000 Limousin: 57 head $3360 High Seller: $11500 Salers: 5 head $3230 High Seller: $4500 Angus: 89 head $3890 High Seller: $13000 Hereford: 39.4 head (some bulls sold with seller maintaining partial interest) $4000 High Seller: $7500 Maine Anjou: 23 head $2882 High Seller: $5400 [/QUOTE]
