[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 677692, member: 7645"] Exactly, (using $US numbers) if you have 25 cows and you use a bull for 3 years......and bull A's calves wean 25 pounds more at weaning and bring 2 cents more per pound in a $1 a pound market than bull B's calves....then Bull A generates $2700 more than Bull B. That is basic math and provable ten ways from sunday and if you keep heifers the numbers can get ridiculous over the life of those cows; but there are still commercial guys all over the place who pay $600-1000 for a bull who will get beat by 70-100 lbs a calf and 9 cents a lb by quality bulls all day long. Then when they inevitably sell out after losing money for years and years and year they all say "You just can't make money in cows". [/QUOTE]
