Bull  Development

A bull’s reputation begins long before breeding season. We focus on producing athletic, durable bulls backed by objective performance data.

​

SHF Bull Development Program: 

• Rewards feed efficiency

• Separates cattle on performance

• Keeps development costs transparent

​​​

Development Rates:

• $5.00 per head per day — up to 900 lbs

• $6.50 per head per day — up to 1,500 lbs

​

The daily cost is fixed.

Total cost is driven by time.

 

Efficient cattle:

• Reach target weights sooner

• Accumulate fewer days

• Cost less to develop

• Example: 20 fewer days = $100–$130 saved per head

  • Savings for 100 head = $10,000–$13,000 ​

 

Genetics are expressed honestly — not masked by push or inconsistent inputs.
