A very good quality young bull can be bought for $3,000.
You should be able to use that bull for three years at least.
At a 90% calf crop that bull will sire 40.5 calves in a 15 cow herd.
Salvage value of the bull, at the end of three years should be at least $1,250 at the packers.
$3,000 - $1,250 = $1,750
$1,750 / 40.5 calves = a bull cost per calf of $43.21 per calf over three years with a 15 cow herd and a 90% calf crop.
Any open cows should be culled and replaced. Once a cow has come up open it will happen again.
