[QUOTE="Red Bull Breeder, post: 943309, member: 7779"] Few years ago it cost a little better than $800.00 a head to put a calf threw the Green Springs bull test. I figure i will cost more now. I can feed mine cheaper than the folks at the test station. I can feed them the way i want them feed so the grow without becoming slaughter steer fat. Less problems with a bull getting sick or hurt if i keep them home. Mine run in the bull pasture and get more good exercise along with grazing to keep there little bellies ready for grass. The DNA test will give you a good idea of the carcass quailties. I am waiting right now for NALF to get the DNA enhanced EPD"s ready. I can get ultra sound data if i hall about 35 miles and did cost $35.00 a head. The more we use the DNA test right now the more accurate DNA testing will get. To me the bull test thing just don't pay out. i am fairly sure i can tell if a calf is doing what it should right here at home without paying some one to tell me. Just my take on things no one else need do as i do. [/QUOTE]
