Bulls on shares

[3 M L & C]

I was wandering how does it work when some of these high dollar bulls sell. When multiple people own it. If someone owns 25% what does that mean exactly? You get 25% of semen he produces or posesstion of him 25% of the time or what? You surely don't get 25% of revenue that the semen catalogs make. Just curious

I'm sure it's a 25% of the revenue he makes in semen sales and you can use him yourself AI for free I'm sure and natural service maybe in the cards also.Most are just gambleing on high semen sales.

Usually bigger $ and more shares equates to a share of AI revenues (after cost) and sometimes exclusive use in your program for a couple of years. 4 or 5 breeders might work to really promote a bull, but the only progeny are available from that group of breeders.
With smaller groups (like 2) they often have staggered calving seasons (Jan/Mar and May/Jun) and will share the bull's walking rights.
