[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1382172, member: 22295"] I have never seen any of your cattle so this isn't aimed at you. I'm speaking of the area where I travel. I thought we would see a decrease in bull prices but for the good quality bulls that will move a herd forward so far I haven't. Priced a yearling this past weekend. Was surprised when they said $5,750. Of course they have some priced at $2,500 they call commercial bulls. Many breeders have these and in years past theses bulls would of been cut. The decrease I've seen so far around here and it is too early to really tell for certain has been in the lower quaility bulls. I was raised to believe to judge a bull on his quality and not what herd he was going into. He is either good or bad. I hope your market picks up. We all need to make money. But at todays prices it is hard for a commercial breeder to justify over the low 4's for a bull IMO. In closing I will say the lady I help purchased a Balancer(which is a crossbred) and he doing as well as most of the purebred bulls we are using. Again I'm speaking of what I'm seeing in this area.
