[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1563969, member: 498"] I didn't say cheap. I said reasonable. If people are doing OK selling yearling steers at $1000. What more expense is there to raise yearling bulls for $1,500-2,000? I could go to Thomas Angus sale next week and buy a dozen or more bred heifers for not much over $3,000 a head. Papered, AI sired, AI bred, with great pedigrees. So that is double the price of a commercial heifer. Feed cost are the same on the cow as a commercial cow. Maybe a touch more on the bull after weaning but you don't have to stuff them. It cost me $50 a head to sync and AI heifers. Or just use one of his well bred bulls to breed cows. There is money there. Not move to a south sea island money. But a profit. [/QUOTE]
