[QUOTE="badaxemoo, post: 464506, member: 3926"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. What do you think reasonable depreciation in price is on a bull? For example, you buy a two-year old for $1500 and use him for three seasons. Assuming he was worth his original price, and has thrown good calves, how much is he worth now as a breeding animal? 2. A reputable breeder has two really nice looking 8 month old bull calves for sale that he has selected his herd. How much can you tell from this age calf vs. a 2 year old in how they will develop? I trust this guy and he only saves bull calves from his best cows. I think I know what a good 2 year old should look like, but I'm not confident about calves. 3. One of the bull calves was five pounds heavier this breeder's average calf weight (75 lbs) and one was almost ten pounds heavier. They are both out of the same bull. Am I asking for trouble if I use them on some heifers? [/QUOTE]
