[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1416501, member: 27490"] Some of my neighbors live by a code: no self respectable commercial beef producer ever pays more than $1500 for a bull. A friend of mine who lives about 2 miles from here has a Limousin bull he uses on shabby Charolais cows that reminds me of a crocodile with long legs. He paid $1500 for that bull. He was over here a couple days ago. He saw my fall bulls in the bull pen. He ask about the white face Optimizer Bull. I told him I expect he is worth about $1800. You would have thought I kicked him in the gut. Although it is a highly specialized and demanding vocation, someone has to meet the demand for cheap, inferior bulls. My question is this: Do the users on this forum see that as a sinful occupation? I feel guilty not being able to help these commercial farmers. Unfortunately, I have invested in nice stock, spend the time and money to AI my cows to good bulls so cannot meet their needs. Can anyone refer me to a source of low end bulls to meet the needs of the great unwashed? [/QUOTE]
