[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1374045, member: 1715"] The AI studs all show a calculation where females synced to a good AI bull make more net calf income than females bull bred to an average bull. Their cost numbers don't totally match my operation but the thought process is worth looking at. When you are looking at breds some of the same factors come into play, and should influence several calves before the female is culled. The best deal I got on heifers last year was the lower wt. cut out of a group of good heifers that had been AIed to a proven bull. [/QUOTE]
