[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1426232, member: 14585"] And never sells a calf crop? I will give him credit for thinking outside of the box.... but there is no reason to reinvent the wheel with a bad plan. Whose successful program is he basing this on? Seems his main goal is to never buy a bull again. Since he doesn't care about pedigrees, I question the quality of his existing starter herd and bulls. The herd is going to run into major inbreeding suppression and intensive inbreeding of a random herd = a lot of culls. IF he wants to give it a go for 1 year/rotation, I believe he'll find selling 2018 bull calves and taking that money to buy new bulls in 2019 will be more profitable than repeating the cycle.
