[QUOTE="novatech, post: 926218, member: 5494"] Wither you own the land or lease it, it really makes no difference. You still will need the working facilities. I never found it necessary to use a squeeze or head gate for AI, although I have them. To AI or not is more dependant on your goal. AI is more about choices to better obtain a higher price at market or improve quality with replacements. With bulls you are stuck with what you can afford. Any flaw found in a herd bull is be reflected herd wide. With AI flaws will be limited to only those a particular semen was used on. But with high percentiles you can eliminate most of them from the start. The number of times through the chute should make them better at going through not worse, if they are handled correctly and the proper choices were made as far as temperament is concerned. [/QUOTE]
