[QUOTE="peclova, post: 2524892, member: 40696"] It is hard to put an exact value on him as he was part of deal I put together when selecting some on animals on a farm in Bavaria. But it was around £1500 as a 6month old. We kept him for 18 months, during which time he produced some nice calves, and sold him for £1100 as a cull (not a bad price for an imported animal). So overall we probably weren't out of pocket. I think the "wild bulls" you refer to are the Heck breed. These were bred to recreate the extinct auroch which roamed European forests. As far as I know Fleckvieh/Simmental were not used in breeding the Heck, and if my memory serves me correctly they were based on the Hungarian Grey or Corsican cattle. [/QUOTE]
