[QUOTE="StrojanHerefords, post: 1822832, member: 42988"] Back in the days before DNA testing, it was standard practices to breed a bull to 30 of his daughters to determine if that bull had a harmful genetic disorder. For me, it is more important to keep using the genetics that work for us than getting the occasional inbred calf. I put a big priority on not using any one bull so much that he could ruin my herd nor will I have so many daughters of that bull that I can't use a son. This year, I plan on using three bulls AI, putting in embryos by and fourth and a couple of cleanup bulls. I still have the dams of the cleanup bulls but I figure that their is only a 25% chance of getting a dam son mating. [/QUOTE]
