[QUOTE="jaydill, post: 167393, member: 2094"] I don't know a whole bunch about this end of the spectrum but I can share with you what I do. There are plently of knowledgable people on this board who I'm sure will give you more helpful advice once they see this post. Okay. [b]AI:[/b] You can bring superior genetics into your herd without having the buy the actual bull. There are classes that will teach (i think certify) you to do it but I'd always recommend having an actual vet do it. More chance that she'll take and less chance that something goes wrong. I personally prefer AI simply because you can pick the exact bull you want, and with control over its EPDs and you can bring in genetics from other places to your own herd. [b]NATURAL:[/b] I've drawn a blank on what I was going to say as far as this. Now of course if you only had one bull you're still picking the exact bull you want, but you've got 1. another head to feed and 2. no variety. A few people I know will AI all their heifers, then run a bull with them for a few months just for those that might not've took. Hope I can be of at least a little help. (Now of course...depending on the herd size...AIng all of them may not be feasible) [/QUOTE]
