[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 93709, member: 968"] As I said - SOMETIMES its a copout. I also said, you may have a good market for bulls. I wasn't being insulting, didn't mean for you to take it that way. Selling a few cattle at 300# doesn't make or break you if there is a $.05/lb difference. But if you sell 100 of them it's $1500 - IF THERE IS A PRICE DIFFERENCE. If there isn't, great, why bother. I only sell about 10 steers at an average weight of 800#. So, IF there was ONLY a $.05/lb difference, that would be $40 more profit/per head for the few minutes it would take us to castrate. And if you implant, there is no advantage to leave them bulls. Actually, I find my unimplanted steers do just as well as my bulls, because the bulls tend to spend too much time doing my heat detection (which is VERY helpful!) :D [/QUOTE]
