[QUOTE="Rod, post: 117291, member: 26"] Well put chuckie, If you get a good bull he will bring it back to you in time. The more cows you have then the quicker your returns will be. If your new bull has a higher weaning weight of about 50 then that would be 50 more pounds a head. With 40 cows that would make 2000 more lbs. and at $1 a pound that would be two thousand more dollars right there. Secondly if this high power bull has good milk epd"s then thats another bonous on your replacements , he's added size and milk to your new heifers. The bull is the best place to start on improving your herd. Spend all the money you can afford on your bull. I did and my stomach killed me for a long time for spending that kind of money, but I am now reaping the rewards with 600lb ww and some of the best heifers around. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT. [/QUOTE]
