For 9 or 10 cows I wouldn't go out and spend 3-4 k on a bull either. I think you will do alright with him. And the black calves will sell well. 8)

I totally agree. I would NOT go out and get another bull with your size of operation. See how the calves turn out. What kind of momma cows do you have?mnmtranching":11n99fqb said:I think what you got there is a thin 2 yr old. He would look a lot better with a couple hundred more pounds.

I agree for this operation he gets the job done its not realistic for a small scale ranch with 10 or less to go out and buy a herd sire for 3,000 to 5,000+ dollars For that price a commercial man can go out and buy 4-6+ Good bred heifers
