[QUOTE="Randi, post: 1476252, member: 24883"] That's a two edged sword IMO. Consistency is important, and if they are using their own genetics back in their herd, that shows that they are confident with their own cattle. However, at some point, I would want to add some different bloodlines into my own herd, which may not be happening if they are stuck using the same thing over and over. OTOH, I don't think I'd have a lot of confidence buying from someone that doesn't seem to have a plan....breeding to many different AI sires. I think that there should be some sort of happy medium. Using your own genetics, but not being afraid to introduce new genetics would give a much nicer offering, while still maintaining a lot of consistency. And as far as consistency goes....If I am looking for Terminal bulls, Maternal bulls, Heifer bulls....how much consistency should there be? [/QUOTE]
