McCanna, ND | I like your math, seems a lot of guys forget that while buying bulls.
I went to the biggest Hereford sale in the state this year, EVERY bull conveniently brought a minimum of $10k (250bulls sold). You have to use their bulls if you want to sell calves to their buyers. The “premium” the buyers gave wouldn’t ever cover the extra cost of the bull(s).
That said I ended up with a hopefully nice $5000 Hereford. If he sires 100 calves that would be an extra $15/calf bull cost over a $3500 bull. I think/hope the value added factor will easily offset that cost. | |
