With semen shopping under way for most autumn and winter calving herds, Angela Rhodes takes a look at some of the best buy bulls that make up our latest value-for-money list. Milk prices may be on the increase but so too are virtually all input costs,so keeping a tight rein on the semen budget is no less important this winter. But keeping down costs on semen purchases doesn't mean you have to skimp on quality. Whether you are looking for a single bull to use across the herd or a few to bring down the blend price of your AI straws, there is currently plenty of choice without having to break the bank. Increased competition especially from online semen sellers has also brought some very high quality bulls within the 20 or less price range.
