[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 1752740, member: 1257"] Thank you for the kind words, first of all we are not in the same league with Gizmom and WBVS58.. To sit here and say we didnt have some hiccups with both purchased and bred cattle would be a lie. We have bought bulls from one outfit for 20 years now.. (I am betting you could guess who).. Never had one melt.. gotten rid of one at less than 6 years old I think.. 0418 - bought 2001 left 2007 (age 7) sold to breeder.. 1344 - bought 2002 left 2005 (age 4 ) stifled 4558 - bought 2005 left 2015 (Age 11) sold thru action (kill bull) Still might be best bull we ever owned 9074 - bought 2009 left 2016 (age 7) died broken shoulder (freak accident overnight) 4648 - bought 2015 left 2021 (Age 7) sold to another breeder 8102 - bought 2018 (age 4)still here 1054 - bought 2021 (Age 1)still here. Do a bunch of AI in addition but most of the time one bull is breeding the cows with ~30 calves per year the other bull is breeding ~10-15 heifers behind AI so not as many calves per year.. 4648 was the most expensive at $8500.. all the rest were less than $5800.. So we havent been buying the most expensive bulls there either, we usually sit around sale average on bull purchases. Actually both of the bulls still here (8102 and 1054) were both ET calves. 8102 had 2 ET full brothers in the same sale, 8102 was the cheapest.. 1054 was exactly the same, cheapest of the 3 ET full brothers in the sale. Dont think I am saying I am smarter than the guys who bought the more expensive bulls I just had a smaller checkbook.. LOL The bulls have been pretty bullet proof here, they are normally fed a small ration until they are 2 years of age and after that they get hay or grass, no feed at all when they are penned. For every person like me there are people that dont have much success with the bigger outfits. I keep going back because when I do have a problem, and I have had some problems on the female side Ben and Eddie take care of me in a fair manner.. I am satisfied with what I get so I dont look elsewhere.. [/QUOTE]
