[QUOTE="highvoltagecattleco, post: 376294, member: 6225"] Know your bulls....You should still have the EPDs from your current bull. Compare then to the bull he is selling you. Your first bull may not have been expected to do as well. If you dont know your EPDs go to angus.org. Check out the sire and dams EPDs as well. You can look them up by registration nubmer on angus.org. Many things factor in to bull selling. Demand for one's bulls, really drives prices. The new bull may be better and will really increase your herds quality. Typically folks say a bull is 50% of your herd. I think of my bull as 75%. His legacy will be on your farm for more than one generation. You can always post the EPDs on this site and folks will tell you what they think. A picture of the bull is good. Sometimes the difference in a guy selling you a bull for 1200 to 1800 is age. If he sold you an 18 month old and now your buy a 2 year old. [/QUOTE]
