[QUOTE="S.R.R., post: 293552, member: 1442"] I started this thread after reading through post after post on the BEGINNERS board about fancy cows and all the fancy bulls they were being AIed too. I have absolutely no problem with people that AI their cattle and more power to them for having the time, money ect. to do it! But......... along with the advent of AI and people with time and money to spare, we are starting to lose sight of the fact that there is a lot to be said for the cow/calf operation that is based on the fundamentals. Fundamentals that have been proven to work for hundreds of ranches over hundreds of years!! When a person NEW to the cattle business logs on to the BEGINNERS board I do not want them going away thinking that to raise cattle you have to buy fancy cows and AI them to such and such fancy bull ect., ect. There is still such a thing as raising a herd of cross bred cows, culling the bad ones when needed, and buying good bulls to put on them. I realize many will disagree but I believe AI has its place and that place is [b]not[/b] in a large cow/calf operation! Yes maybe the day will come when we can force our cattle to come into heat at the same time and then force them to take with the first straw but it is not here yet and I personally hope it never comes!!
