[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1239319, member: 1022"] The thing you have to ask yourself, is the difference in value of the 700 pound calf and the 500 pound calf less than or equal to the difference in cost of a fancy name brand bull and a salebarn bull, when factored into the whole herd? If it is equal, then pick the salebarn bull, because you'll lose less when he gets out and plays in front of a log truck. Is the security of having expectations of calving ease worth anything to you? What about personal pride in having a pedigreed animal? How much are those things worth to you? It's all easy math. (Not that a craigslist bull will cost you 200 pounds a calf, but if you keep enough heifers out of craigslist bulls, you can loose 200 pounds a calf.) [/QUOTE]
