[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 891303, member: 411"] Although sexed semen isn't supposidly quite as fertile it is used with great success. We have our order in for heifer semen this breeding season to almost guarantee our first calf heifers have smaller heifer calves. Making their first calving season easier on them and in turn hopefully a quicker recoop time. Our commercial angus Cows that we know produce our highest selling steers we will put bull semen in. If this is the correct move for us........ Who knows. We will know the following calving season. To each his own! I agree with the bull theary though. It takes a while before you know if your "bull" prospect will fit what you want, pending no problems before breeding age. It's not cost affective for us to raise our own bulls when there are so many good bulls out there. Also fully agree with the gene testing. Just my two cents ;-) Double R [/QUOTE]
