[QUOTE="eric, post: 119887, member: 7"] I went to a PBR event a few weeks ago down here, and the announcer was really trying to push folks into the bull breeding business. Made it sound real easy to buy some stock, breed some bulls, and make some money. The bull owners have a competition each night just as the riders do, scored by the judges. The owners make somewhere along the lines of 20-25K if their bull is the top scoring bull of the event. It cost each owner 10K to enter their bulls, and several owners had more than one bull entered. As the event went on and this fella was talking more and more about the bucking bull business, he mentioned a sale the previous day where the average price for the bulls was in the 50K dollar range! Most bulls sold on shares, and some sold semen interest only. So yes, it appears you need very deep pockets to get into this line of the business, as you have some stiff competition already in there. Kinda reminded me of the alpaca / ostrich business, the first ones in there made all the money off of the newcomers. [/QUOTE]
