1. Bulls sell for less in the fall because there is less demand.
2. Fall is the best time to move cattle from one environment to another – especially if you are moving them into a hotter, more humid environment (south and/or east).
3. Spring-calving producers have much more time to select and purchase bulls in the fall than they do in the spring.
4. These bulls are 18-months of age – going on two years. They have been developed slowly and naturally on grass and will be able to handle a larger workload – with fewer problems.
5. If you need to buy something for year-end tax purposes, it makes a whole lot more sense to buy bulls than it does to buy expensive equipment. Talk to your tax advisor about the Section 179 Expense.
