[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 294538, member: 4353"] Just to throw another spanner in the works.... if you do AI you don't neccesarily need to follow the latest fashion in bulls, you can also use a bull that has been dead for years. That would be awfully hard to do if you only breed naturally. There definately is a place for natural breeding, I do that on my commercial cattle and if you really farm extensively that is probably the way to go if your situation don't allow AI. The problem being that bulls that would improve your herd become very expensive. There definately is a place for AI, I do that on my purebreds. And consequently make faster progress because I can match every cow to a more suitable bull. There is also a place for ET's, just not in my operation at this point in time. Also, if I have semen that I don't paln to use on the purebreds anymore, I do use them on my commercial cattle and then run a clean up bull after one attempt at AI, no harm done. [/QUOTE]
