[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 679663, member: 6681"] I don't raise bulls, but I just bought a bull off of test. From a buyers pov, The bull was available for me to see. I'm certain that there were as good or better bulls available somewhere else, but I had no way of knowing about them. The tests usually have customers available to look at bulls available. If you're raising good quality bulls and nobody knows it,... As a buyer, there's unbiased information about the bull I'm interested in and comparables as to what else is available. A bonus for me was the networking that's available surrounding the test. From feeds to transportation to breed contacts. From a breeders/sellers standpoint, I don't know. Seemed like most of the bulls on that particular test went cheaper than I'd have thought. With what it costs to raise one and then whatever it costs put it on test and surely some fees in selling him. I am very curious to hear what it costs to put one on test and others pov on this. The one thing that you will get from it is some market awareness/advertising. And if you're in the business of bulls, that can't hurt. Just judge the cost effectiveness and then decide. [/QUOTE]
