There are all sorts of factors to consider:
- What you're willing to spend on a bull
- Genetic quality of that bull
- Purebred, Fullblood or Crossbred bull
- Age of the bull - virgin yearling or experienced 2 y.o. to mature bull
- Conformation of the bull - the more "perfect" the bull is the better quality--in most cases--he will be for your herd.
- Breed of the bull, depending on what you're using the bull for--crossbreeding, breeding up, replacement heifers, selling for beef, etc.
- What your purpose for the bull is
- Where you can purchase the bull from
There are many other things, but these are the most important to consider.
