[QUOTE="Springfieldsimm, post: 1823106, member: 42580"] Around here most guys don’t realize that paying more for a good bull (say $5000) makes more money than buying a cheaper mediocre (say $2500) bull. If you do a little math you can see the figure for yourself. So if he breeds 25 cows over 5 years that’s 125 calves and if each calf weighs 20 lbs more at weaning because of better genetics that’s 2500 lbs x $1.75 that’s $4375 so you would be making $1875 ($4375-$2500 difference) more on the better bull. I realize that not all the calves may live to weaning but I also think that a good bull will probably add more than 20 lbs to the weaning weight. Also you if you look long enough you will probably find a really good bull for less than $5000. [/QUOTE]
