[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1478987, member: 16547"] On commercial side yes I say I buy my bulls from someone who uses their own genetics. On sire AND dam side. See a lot of these programs just going and buying a cow family and the prefix changes 3 times in 3 generations. It's great that a cow family works at a number of different places but I do not see pride into building a herd either when all your doing is buying everyone else's genetics. On the flip side to this why would I waste my time AI'ing cows if I am not single cow single bull mating them? Might well just buy a darn good bull and turn him out. I'm going to use my single time AI to individually mate every cow to a bull that can fix and or make any issues she may have may it be in her pedigree/epd's/structure. Also if breeder is not using a few different bulls how is the commercial guy going to keep buying bulls there? [/QUOTE]
