Valuing any investment requires determining the cost and balancing that against the expected returns from that asset \u2013 and bulls are no different. It is a lot more complicated than running out and buying the cheapest bull or the most expensive sire in the catalog.<\/p>\n<p>Since so much detail is needed to evaluate bull purchases, it is convenient to work with a decision aid. In evaluating bull purchase prices and the investment in bull tests, a couple of spreadsheet-based decision aids will come in handy. Two useful decision aids when you\u2019re considering a bull purchase can be found at this website: <a href=\"https:\/\/agecoext.tamu.edu\/resources\/decisionaids\/beef\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/agecoext.tamu.edu\/resources\/decisionaids\/beef\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The decision aide we\u2019ll talk about is the \u201cBull Investment Cost Analysis\u201d spreadsheet. Each decision aid on the linked page has a full description and a downloadable Excel spreadsheet. The numbers in the spreadsheet would be a good place to start and can be replaced with your own numbers or a series of data to look at possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>The bull investment decision aid allows several user inputs, and produces tables that compare outcomes by purchase price and cows serviced. Using the decision aid is simple. For example, we will assume a situation based on budgets from a cow-calf producer in the Texas High Plains.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll assume a bull grazing and supplemental feed cost of $575 and a veterinarian\/medicine cost of $100. These costs include a bull soundness exam and a Trichomoniasis test. Both are critically important investments, and in fact the Trichomoniasis test is required in some states. The decision aid automatically assumes that our bull will service 25 cows. We\u2019ll assume a bull cost $3,500, a useful life of 4 years, and a salvage value of about $1,260 (1,800 lbs. at $70\/cwt.). We\u2019ll assume a weaning rate of 85%, a weaning weight of 530 lbs., and a weaned calf price of $150\/cwt. The decision aid produces two tables, annual bull cost at different purchase prices, and a sensitivity analysis of cost based on bull costs and cows serviced.<\/p>\n<p>At a purchase price of $3,500, the annual bull service cost per cow is $58.75 per cow, and the annual service cost per hundredweight weaned is $13.03\/cwt. The different rows show how much cost per cow and cost per hundredweight weaned change if we choose to spend more or less on our bull. If you believe your bull will bring higher weaning weights, simply change the weaning weight in the spreadsheet. Calves that wean at 600 lbs. instead of 530 lbs. decrease bull cost per cwt weaned from $13.03\/cwt to $11.51\/cwt.<\/p>\n<p>Now maybe you see a bull for sale that is more expensive but you\u2019re confident it will bring you a higher value per calf weaned. A bull increasing weaning weights is a common example, but you might also base that guess on color or quality of structure. For instance maybe you see a $4,500 bull that you like whose calves historically bring slightly above-market price. The decision aid can help you evaluate whether the extra bull expense is a financially sound move. Increasing bull cost from $3,500 to $4,500 means our cost per hundredweight weaned increases from $13.03\/cwt to $15.70\/cwt. Now we know that in order for our $4,500 bull to break even when compared with our $3,500 bull, his calves must bring $2.67\/cwt ($0.26\/lb.) more.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Table 1<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-793 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"895\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1.png 895w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1-768x443.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second table compares the same cost per cow outcome from table one against scenarios where our herd bull services more or less cows. Using the same assumptions above our $3,500 bull can cost anywhere from $41.94 per cow to $97.87 per cow annually depending on how many cows serviced.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Table 2<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-793 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"895\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1.png 895w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1-768x443.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-793\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"895\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1.png 895w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/agecon\/files\/2020\/02\/table1-768x443.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019re wondering, \u201cOk, you\u2019ve explained just how much a bull will cost, but how do I know whether I\u2019ve spent the correct amount on him?!\u201d No worries, we\u2019ll revisit our example. Based on Texas High Plains cow-calf budget, net returns for 2020 are approximately $40.53 per cow, not including the new bull. Including the $58.72 per cow for the bull generates a net loss of $18.19\/cow! Using Table 2 we can find the combination of cows serviced and bull purchase cost to meet our ultimate goal of making a profit. Certain combinations of bull purchase cost below $3,500 and a number of cows serviced greater than 25 yield a profit. For example a $2,500 bull that services 30 cows costs $38.94 per cow yielding a profit in the example of $1.60 per cow.<\/p>\n<p>How much you should spend on a herd bull is complicated and depends on the needs of your herd and your long-term goals. Spending more on a bull that meets your long-term genetic goals might be the appropriate strategy if that bull yields more valuable calves, hopefully leading to higher net returns. We always assume the long-term goal of any cattle enterprise is to make money. So, no matter your goals, consider bull cost and returns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we talk about the decision making process of buying a bull.
