[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1545629, member: 37967"] We sell Registered Angus bulls and I would recommend this strategy. I may get trolled for the advice, but all of our customers are very satisfied with the results they are getting from their bulls and their females are getting settled quickly. Bring your bull in and give him a shot of Multimin 90 (buy it online or at vet's office) then if you can get hold of Southern States 14 X Stress feed, put him on it, our bulls are eating 10-15 pounds a day per bull along with high-quality alfalfa/orchard grass hay. We use Gro Tec Ag Land Fescue 7 minerals, along with a tub of Purina Accuration. We semen test all of our bulls before they leave our ranch and they test very high (I have the proof from the Vet). Next do the same for your heifers, except for the high amount of grain, I give them far less grain, but they get everything else mentioned above. We AI all of our heifers, but they are settling on the first or second try. This all may seem like a lot of effort, but it pales in comparison to not getting everyone bred and doing it quickly. I firmly believe that the crazy weather that we have had, at least in KY is affecting fertility and that the animals are stressed, therefore I try to do everything in my power to reduce that stress and the results speak for themselves. Here is a photo of a bull that we recently sold and according to the new owner, nearly his entire group of females were settled in two cycles. I think he had 20-30 cows. The bull in the photo is 16 months old. [url=https://cattletoday.com/forum/app.php/gallery/image/29][img]https://cattletoday.com/forum/app.php/gallery/image/29/mini[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
