[QUOTE="js1234, post: 1401374, member: 17596"] Bull sales, while down noticeably have held together better than I thought they might. So far this Winter/Spring, I've bought 23 bulls, we have about 13 yet to buy before we have our needs buttoned up for the Spring calving 1/2 of our cowherd. 11 of the bulls so far have been Hereford. Our average on those 11 is just over $4,500, cheapest Hereford bull we bought was $3,400 and the most expensive was $6,150. Angus are similar for us this year but didn't look as we seem to be talking about Herefords in particular on this thread. I did also buy a SimAngus bull, but he's a different deal as a friend and I viewed him as something pretty special in terms of potential semen sales etc. and possibly partnering with a stud or selling him to one outright after we've done some promoting of him and used him in some commercial heifer projects along with getting some more detailed RFI data. Based on his exceptional numbers and appeal as an outcross sire for several different types of breeders, he sort of skewed the average you could say. [/QUOTE]
