[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1343833, member: 9096"] The other thing is money... If I buy a PB bull for $5K and get about 100 calves from him and sell him for 2K, each calf costs me $30 just on bull 'depreciation'.. (never mind the feed, that's common to any bull) If I keep one of my own, he costs me the price of a steer ($1,000), and I also sell him for $2000 when I'm done with him, the growth I put on him goes back into my pocket.. So if my calves are a little less consistent and I lose $40/calf due to that, it's made up with the money saved on the bull... Keeping replacements, well, that can go either way on quality depending on what you start out with. Creekdrive.. I really like the tag on the nearest steer "PEST".. Hmm.. I wonder what that means!
