[QUOTE="thatdoggJake, post: 742148, member: 13656"] There are probably a lot of variables here and I lot of different ways to look at it... but... If you took a herd of good cows that have been on good commercial bulls and put then on show type breeding bulls (lets just say you already had the bulls avaiable and there was no addiontal cost here) the next year how much would you potential lose on the calfs you take to the sell barn? My thinking (which is purely a guess %100!!!) is that I could expect on ave calf weights to be down 20 lbs per each (compared to calfs that came from bigger commercial bulls). Thus, 20 lbs * 60 calves = 1200 lbs * $1.15 = $1380 loss. Therefore to get back to even I would have to sell X calfs overs sell barn price to break back even. What do you guys think???? [/QUOTE]
