    Haven’t seen any cow calf ranches make a profit in literally three years. And I live in Kansas by the way.

    First thing, quit doing it like grandpa. Second, cut out the the six middlemen. Get it to the consumer yourself, double profitablity. Use more hands-on practices instead of throwing them out in pasture until grazed down

    And why would you buy and take care of a bull when you could buy semen for $5ish per straw? This video literally taught you zero. They talked in circles and didn’t provide any specifics.

      Probably because that is a labor intensive process that cost more than just the cost per straw and you still need to cover with a bull if you are a commercial producer with any size-able herd because because artificial insemination is very rarely at 100% honestly 60 to 70% is a good rate which you want 100% If you were going to take a Cow through the winter or you will be caulling a third of your herd per year, which isn’t cost-effective either. So, unless you have 1 to 3 cows you are going to half to maintain a bull or several bulls for your cowherd anyway.
