[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1773762, member: 42463"] I like all my cows to calve at the same time. Lots of reasons for that including that I have to watch them for a shorter time and when the calves are ready to market they all look similar and get a higher price. It's also easy to synchronize your animals so they all get bred at the same time using artificial insemination. And you can customize your concerns so you can breed the new heifers to a calving ease bull and the others to something moderate with high weaning weights. I'd never buy/rent a bull for anything less than 20 cows. It's just too easy to synchronize and AI. If you have a good person to do the AI they can suggest bulls to address what you want. The best of all possible worlds, IMO. [/QUOTE]
