[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1417149, member: 27490"] The average cow/calf operation in Kentucky is about 20 head. They buy bulls for about $1500 or less. As someone mentioned, many buy culled bulls at the Stockyards. The cost share program for improvement of herd genetics is intended to encourage producers to use better bulls. It has helped. I bought my first bull (a registered Angus) for about $1800. When his photo was put up on Cattle Today back in 2013, he was massacred. I had him about 16 months and sold him. At that time, I began to AI. I still needed a bull so I bought a Rocking P bull ( registered Bull with Built Right pedigree) for $2500. I kept Spartacus about 2 years and leased him. While on lease, a guy saw him and I sold him. For the last two years, I have been total AI. I do not have a bull and that is a pleasure. I have only 16 cows, all registered. So far, they have bred back AI without any problems. I don't want a bull to deal with but if I did, I would raise my own. I would not pay more than $2500 for a bull. [/QUOTE]
