Another consideration for you-
What will you do with the bull after his work is done?
We keep 20 to 30 bulls year around just to have them for a couple months of work and they are a pain in the A## when they're off duty. If you don't have any neighbors, you might get by with running him with your cows year around. If you do have neighbors with females, its not really fair to them for you to try to keep a bull with not enough for him to do. When you consider the liability issue of a loose bull in your area, it makes AI or leasing a bull seem like a pretty good alternative.
