[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1764988, member: 42463"] Well there are cheap bulls and there are expensive bulls... And personally... and I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, just giving you an honest opinion... your $500 bull is one of the most expensive bulls I've seen. Why? Because you have a decent cow and the calf is not even close to the quality of the cow. The only thing going for the calf is that it's black and we all know black sells for more than quality. With a herd improving bull that heifer might have sold for $1000. Multiply that difference by the number of calves you are getting. There are great herd improving black bulls that will throw black calves and can be inexpensive. The two best bulls I've had were cheap herd improvers. One was a home raised crossbreed and the other was an $800 purebred that the breeder didn't like (but he was wrong). You put the right bull on that cow and you'll have meaty calves that sell for more and will more than pay for the better bull... if you buy wisely. A cheap bull can be an expensive mistake. [/QUOTE]
