[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 589429, member: 6496"] We had Maines, Shorthorns, and Angus cattle on our place. Maines because that is what my wife's family showed in 4-H and FFA, Shorties because we got into them together, and we happened upon a good Angus cross because when we were in college and our cows were at my in-laws place they had an Angus bull. Angus x Maines were always great calves for us and Shorties x Maines were great also. We would AI our show cattle with purchased semen, but had an Angus bull to cover all other cows and clean up the show cattle. I know a guy that has Angus cattle and covers them with a Charolais bull and the calves perform amazing in his feedlot. For us it was about matching genetics, bull and cow. Purchased semen helped us do that very effectively. We wouldn't purchase a lot of semen, maybe $200 worth a year, but I feel AI-ing is a great way to introduce new genetics, relatively easily, into a cow herd. [/QUOTE]
