Abstract
The purpose of this report is to present summary statistics of cost reimbursement eligibility through TAEP for bulls sold in the University of Tennessee bull test sale from 2011-2016. Specifically, we show the percentage of bulls that qualified for cost reimbursement by bull type, which include balanced bull, terminal bull and calving ease bull. More information about these bull types is available on the TAEP website. We also show the average price of the bulls sold that qualified for reimbursement for each bull type. All bull sale prices were adjusted for inflation into 2016 dollars. Less than 4 percent of the bulls sold during this time period were breeds other than Angus. Therefore, we only present results for Angus bulls. The total number of Angus bulls sold over this time period was 561.
