What's This Bull Worth?

He's an Angus bull with a 75 pound birthweight-gained 4.44 lbs a day on test. marbling score was 6.66 at .21 inches of BF. Estimated lean meat yield was 64.08, had 1.06 square inches of ribeye per 100lbs. His mother is a nine year old cow with great feet and udder. The bull had 33.5 cm testicles at twelve months and has good feet and legs-just curious as to what you think he'd be worth.

He's actually a bull I bought years ago and is gone now-just curious as to what people think he'd of been worth-you don't see many carcass ultrasounds that are that good.

Angus don't do well in this climate. They go pretty cheap at the salebarns - bottom prices in the last few years. Last week at the sale barn angus cows and bulls were up a little and people were bidding on them. Maybe they are trucking them north? I'd be tickled to get 60 cents a pound for him.

I guess I'll be the first to give a response actually directed at the question. I'd pay $3000 for a bull like that pretty easily, provided he had all the right structural ingredients. Pretty easy decision really, when you consider numbers that high. RBE/cwt at 1.06 isn't real high, but it's certainly good enough when you throw it on the other figures.

Actually Pure Country I paid a bit more for him-I owned his mat. grandmother and she was a real good cow. I lost the bull when he was four years old but I still have a pretty good semen bank up on him.

NR you should know how much he was worth. You got to see the calves from him. That is the only way to tell what a bull is worth, how his calves preformed and how many you got out of him.

I was just curious is all-he's dead and gone-I just found the old sale catalogue and wonder what people would value him at today.

In that case, dead, he's worth at least a couple of MILLION! :lol:

I don't know what part of Texas you're in, but they do well and sell well in my part. I sell Angus bulls as fast as I get them to service age. Every set of good angus calves will top the market in Emory every time.
