[QUOTE="bulldurham, post: 1222273, member: 23451"] I've seen this article a few times as well and I think it's awfully presumptuous. It implies there's a direct correlation between a bulls epds profile, the validity of the profile, and the sale price the bull is sold for. This couldn't be farther from the truth. I take a lot of pride in my bulls and generally spend more than what pencils out in the short run. As a purebred breeder, I justify spending more than I can pencil out as it is nearly impossible to quantity the added value a bull brings to the table in terms of increasing the quality of replacements. Not to mention, I get a great deal of satisfaction knowing I have quality animals. For the commercial guy with 30-40 cows, I think it is outrageous to be spending 5k+ on a herd sire. Not because perhaps he won't pencil out,,, but because you just don't have to pay that much in order to buy a sufficient quality bull. [/QUOTE]
