[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 704657, member: 7645"] "8. A bull should produce two to three times his cost and upkeep in offspring sold before he is sold or turned into hamburger." I don't know about #8. If a bull sires 30 calves for 3 years at the modest price of $500 a calf (I would rather be able to use $600++; but the market has often been rougher than that these last two years) I come up with $45,000 worth of product he is responsible for. Upkeep on a bull is ~$500 a year (for some people it is half that and some double that) or ~$1500. ($45,000 - $1500)/2 or 3 comes out to $14,500 to $21,750. Show up to MOST bull seller's place and they will sell you one of their 4 best 18 month old bulls and a small cowherd to keep him company. [/QUOTE]
