[QUOTE="Midtenn, post: 1306026, member: 24781"] I'll chime in one more time with you guys. And keep in mind I'm a novice. But here's how I'm seeing this, and some of my reasoning for leaning toward multiple bulls for AI in my mixed herd. I thought about using the "target bull" which seemed to make sense. But I'm having more trouble finding one than I did finding three. Does anyone know of a "target bull" that has above average carcass, +4 or better CED and below 2.0 BW, above average on CEM and HP, milk of 22 and Doc of 20+, and I would need ADG of .25+ and DMI below 20. MW of +20 or a little more and MH of +2 to +4 ??? Oh, and WW of +60 or above. $W and $B above average and +EN ??? I don't think there is a target bull as far as a cowmaker goes. Seems it would depend on the cow as to who the target bull would be for producing heifers.... Thanks again for all the opinions [/QUOTE]
