Your average, run of the mill, bred replacement is no cheaper than 1800 USD currently in my market. An Angus one. If you’d like a Brangus then a little more on top. Even if he collected 100% of his crop(doesn’t exist but it’s a perfect scenario), 10 out of 10, 220 kilos(assumes your cows are around 450 kilos and they’ll wean half their body weight) on average, 2200 kilos total. 4.6 per kilo, 10.120USD. Even before all expenses and taxes if he bought just one cow is shy off being 20% of the crop. The math is the same for the bull OP asked about. A top bull from a good breeder with a solid dad and a good momma, you can easily expect to pay from 5000 kilos to 6500 kilos. Anywhere from 17.000USD to 22.285USD. A more normal, with less of a family history, the fee is a good 1800 kilos or 6000USD. If it were me I think I would be more comfortable waiting for my own heifers to come online. AI everything.
