Renting a bull

[Named'em Tamed'em]

This last breeding season I was wiped out mentally and physically and no way was I going to get 4 cows bred AI. So I called my neighbor that has a half dozen nice bulls and he brought an Angus over to my place for about 50 days. I called him yesterday and asked what I owed him now that 4 calves were on the ground. How about $100 , you have good loading facilities and always feed him well! Sweet deal I think!

Sure beats owning a bull when you can rent one that looks that good.

 

[Lee VanRoss]

I think it says a lot about you and the relationship with the neighbor. Well done!

 

[FlyingLSimmentals]

Good Deal! Says a lot about both of you. Good People!

 

[MurraysMutts]

I've known him for over 55 years we were in Cub Scouts together his uncle was the local butcher, my dad was a painter, he came to Cub Scouts smelling like a pepperoni stick I came to Cub Scouts with paint all over me!

If my neighbors had a bull like that I'd rent too!

 

[Named'em Tamed'em]

Agreed! Very nice

Where the pics of them new babies?

These two are 6 and 7 weeks old, the first pic is out of a 22 month old heifer.

Good looking bull and calves ! I might have to give him an extra $100

He has several bulls like that, Red Angus, Hereford and a couple more black Angus. Sometimes if I just have one in heat he drops it off for 30 minutes, loads him up and takes him to another place.

I'm doing WAY better!! Got my first clean biopsies last month, first time in 12 months that I was clean!! I'm going in for more testing tomorrow. I'm taking my little boat across the Salt chuck to avoid "traffic" and save a buck. Pictures of my commute tomorrow. Thanks for asking

I've been supplying bulls for my brother for some years now.
I don't charge him anything, but he's my brother.

It like a tractor, the best one to have is your neighbor's.

You could drive all over the country, wear a brand new set of tires off your truck and trailer, and don't know that you could find a bull much better, no matter what you had to spend on one. And your calf pics just reinforces that. If you had to pay him $100 a calf, it would still be a bargain, vs paying AI cost or the cost of buying and maintaining a bull. Of course, good as he is, it ain't all him. Looks like you have a damned good set of gals, too!
