[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1484308, member: 968"] I have had 8 bulls born since 1-1 out of 17 calves so far. All are banded except for 2. More breeders need to be pickier about what they leave in-tact and left as bulls. Just because it has papers does not mean he is bull quality. I sell my bull calves still on the cow. If they are weaned and not sold prior to shipping my steers, they get cut & shipped with the steers. I am back to 100% AI - 2 seasons, basically 60 days Jan-Feb & fall 60 days Sept-Oct. This thread is about commercial bulls, but I added my 2 cents on PB bulls. A good bull makes a GREAT steer. I think if people are serious about improving a cow herd, they should use a registered bull (not necessarily a PB bull), but papered known pedigree that you can get EPD's to analyze along with phenotype to see what he can do to improve on your cowherd. For someone that is looking at terminal bulls to sell ALL their calf crop and are not worried about CE, then a commercial meat wagon can fit the bill. IMHO [/QUOTE]
