[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1210233, member: 19707"] HD, not sure where you found those figures, but I do know that $1500 a month is pretty much the starting rate for outfits like Lautner and Trausch that lease out those promotional bulls that they're selling semen on. These would be club calf bulls - some might be registered, but their goal is to raise show calves, which routinely bring well over market price - often up into the five figure range. It's not a bad price in that situation. The common rationale there is worst case scenario, if you can sell three calves for $500 apiece over market, the lease paid for itself. Plus you have calves to sell out of the bulls that many people saw on display at Denver (and/or several other shows), and basically everyone in the club calf industry has seen a bunch of big glossy print ads on - you're getting lots of dollars worth of promotion already built in to your calf crop. I'm sure there are other premium markets where a $1500 a month lease could make sense too. [/QUOTE]
