Hiring out a bull

What's the going rate for this?

Got a guy who is looking to borrow a bull for about a month as he thinks his own bull has gone infertile.

Anyone do this on a regular basis?

My old boss used to charge £20/cow to run the bull in with neighbours cattle (10 yr ago), luckily the neighbour paid because the fence couldn't stop the bull and he used to come and go between the two herds as he pleased.
If £50/week seems dear buy a bull and hire him out, you'll make a fortune! :ROFLMAO:

Pity we're not in a more stock oriented area @Tim G we could do the same trick with our wonky fences and be millionaires Rodney :ROFLMAO:
