[QUOTE="Sharp_Ranch, post: 823331, member: 4695"] In May 2010 I leased a semen tested registered Balancer bull (50% registered Angus + 50% registered Gelbvieh) for 8 weeks for $500 to cover 12 cows. According to the gestation table for the date when introduced to the herd calving due dates would begin March 7 and theorectically could continue until May 12. In actuality my first calf came on March 10, a second on March 11, the third on March 20, and that's it so far (but they've all tested pregnant) indicating differences as expected in the cow's breeding cyles (hence the reason for a 2 month bull lease for coverage.) When leasing you do risk the possibility of injury or loss of the bull. Insurance to cover a two month lease period on a $2500 valuated bull costs about $250. I opted to take the risk and self insure, but it's something to consider. Hope this info helps. [/QUOTE]
