Went a couple Simmental sales this year looking for a good Black Simmental. I don't know if I can afford one at the prices they are going for. I am not really complaining, i mean I am happy for the guys selling them, but man are they trading good this year. I just have a hard time justifying the cost on them. Lets say a bull on average breeds 150 cows over his lifetime ( 5 years x 30 cows ) and costs around the $8000 that they went for yesterday, that comes out to over $50.00 a calf if they all live and conception rates of 100%. It is a good sign of the optimism in the industry though.
