[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1823130, member: 32659"] We generally get good regestered bulls for under $3,000 here. Last 2 we bought I told them not to send the papers and think we paid $2,750 each. 1 looks really nice other I needed a bull so bought him. When I read some of these sale papers and see guys giving in the $6-10k range I just can't see it, at least now that I've had cattle for awhile. I'd spend that money on better mother cows. One of the local BTOs running several thousand head has been buying 44 Farms bulls and selling his calves back to them. That may pencil out I don’t know. I bought a set of heifers several years ago that were bred to 44 Farms bulls. I tried to buy a bull and they said they gave $7k average price for them and bought enough to breed 300 spring calving heifers. That's allot of money for a pen of bulls. The calves out of the heifers blended in with the rest. I kept about 10 heifers out of that set and they look and perform like our other cows. Definitely not against people buying registered bulls and I know people that really study the EPDs. It just hasn't made enough difference for me. Excellent looking bull, you got a deal. [/QUOTE]
