[QUOTE="bwranch, post: 93976, member: 102"] I agree with Bama. Rent or borrow a bull from someone who calves in the spring or find someone willing to let you run your cows with their herd for a couple of cycles. We AI everything and yes, it's cheaper, you can get better genetics, and you don't have to keep a bull. The down side is it is pretty time intensive. Seriously time intensive, and unless you have a really good relationship with the tech, you are going to have to work on his schedule which decreases the odds of success. Do you have a working pen, chute, etc? The techs I know aren't going to give you much service, if at all, unless you do. Odds are you won't get both cows to take on the first try which will require additional time and expense on your part. For two cows, find a bull somewhere. Just one guys opinion. Lee [/QUOTE]
