[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 7524331, member: 1819"] I don't find that price and quality are very well linked, in that many of the more expensive bulls are regularly dressed up rubbish. One of the best bulls I've had cost £1500 and we claimed the bull premium on him when he came home, another good bull was on from a cow that was bought with a calf at foot and in calf (with the bull) which cost £420 We run pure and commercial cows and they are treated the same, same groups, same bulls, same feed etc. The only difference is that I will AI the odd pedigree cow to keep something different coming through. We buy the odd bull, but I don't believe dearer is better and I'll give the commercial cows as good a bull as will the pures. [/QUOTE]
