DUKE is a calving ease sire used on heifers. We think you will like his sons. Deep, easy fleshing bulls, they are a good choice to breed heifers. Owned with Deer Range Red Angus.

RANSOM is a calving ease sire. He is a low birth bull with muscle and character. We love the maternal line behind him. Another excellent choice to use on heifers. RANSOM was a $10,000 purchase in our 2012 bull sale by the Durie’s at Duralta Farms.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU AFFORD TO PAY FOR A TOP BULL? COWMAN FORMULA Increase in pounds per calf from a top performance bull X number of cows bred to him per year X number of years to keep bull X expected selling price of calves =Additional dollars you can pay for a better bull
Example: A bull who will add 30 lbs. to the weaning weight of each of his calves - is mated to 25 cows per year for 4 years and you sell your calves for $1.00 per lb.
This bull is worth $3000 more than your average bull who will keep the weaning weights the same. Take this formula and put your own figures in and see what you can afford to pay. This equation does not consider the increase in value due to calving ease, higher quality replacement heifers, yearling growth, feedlot gain and improved carcass quality.
30 lbs x 25 cows = 750 x 4 years = 3000 x $1.00 / lb. = $3000
