We sold that bull last year because of concerns over inbreeding. He was starting to breed his grandkids. We bought him for $400 as a calf and sold him for $8000 as a pure bred Angus breeding bull. We started over with a new bull who will breed for the first time this spring.
Since our herd hovers around our maximum number, we sell all of the calves every summer now, unless we have a cow that is not doing well and have to replace her with one of the new heifers. Then we'll sell the cow and keep the heifer to breed more calves and maintain our herd size.
What does it cost to do an AI from someone’s other bull?
My question is it worth having a bull at all?
Also, is your AG exemption with the state of FL on property taxes or is there a Federal tax exemption too?
