[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1675982, member: 14585"] aaa data WW .28 heritable yw .27 (environment .72-.73) 125 lb ww spread from top 1% 113 lbs to bottom 1% -12 lbs breed average ww 56 lbs max gain expected in 1 generation 62.5 lbs your 2 bulls achieved 55 lbs [88%] 52 lbs [83%] of maximum expectation $1150 additional investment in PB sim returned a net gain of $2,132.97 $1500 increased cost of Brangus bull - net gain $547 (i assume only 1 yr ?) It appears to me that 4000-4750 is your sweet spot for bull price to achieve the most cost effective gains in your local area. You increased your bull budget 47% from $5,600 to $8,250 to capture 85.75% of achievable gain (WELL DONE) but I estimate 5,000 as your point of diminishing returns for your current cow herd, if you try to chase 100% of maximum expectation of 62.5 lbs in 1 generation Don't forget environment: weather, feed, management, ect is 72% of the equation. just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
