Bull buying as long term investment and growth
Eldon J. Hans notes that purchasing a performance tracked bull can boost future calf value. A 100 lb heavier weaning weight leads to calves 15 lb heavier on average, yielding about $180 extra from 30 calves if value is $40 per cwt. Unknown performance can harm weights. bulls represent over half the herd and three generations show 88 percent herd makeup from bulls.
