[QUOTE="plbcattle, post: 143865, member: 171"] how much do you pay for your herd bulls. How do you come to that conclusion as to what you pay. I am having trouble with all the people that have 20-40 cows and want a $1000 bull. the cows are worth $25,000-$40,000 at $1000 per animal and you are willing to pay $1000 for that kind of investment on a bull that you could pay $1000-$2500 more for something that is a lot more predictable, No birthweight surprises, more milk, heavier weaning and yearling weights(I know there are the exceptions but with high accuracies EPD's you can get some really predictable bulls to use) This is just a question to see what makes you decide how much you will spend on a herd bull [/QUOTE]
