[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1400394, member: 1682"] Around here there are 3 segments of producers buying bulls. Majority, would say close to 50%, are buying their bulls at least 200-900 miles away. Selection, pedigree, quantity and name recognition all come into play. I am in this group. The next 35% or so will buy local. Small herds less than 50 cows. Want bull quick and cheap with very little hassle in terms of getting them delivered. Cheap is the major factor, because if the price gets too high, they will quickly fall into the last group of people and do some trading. The remaining 15% or so never buy bulls. They either home raise or trade with a neighbor. Quality, inbreeding and disease are not concerns of theirs. As long as they don't have to spend money on a bull, they are happy. Quite often they have serious BVD and conceptions issues, marketing poor doing cattle with nuts and horns. [/QUOTE]
