[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1380926, member: 16453"] If you are just breeding calves to sell from a mixed up group of cows and the bulls parents seem of reasonable quality and his price is super cheap then why not. As long as you get calves on the ground is the most important driver of profitability by far and is a priority. After that getting a close calving group so you have an even line to sell as a pen of weaners and then improving the quality and a uniform of type of calf. It sounds like you are at stage 1 so getting calves on the ground is the priority and the bull is cheap then give him a go but he would have to be very much under the price of a purebred bull which from what the others say you can pick up at a very reasonable price these days.
