[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1534015, member: 9096"] With my 2 dozen cows, I have kept 3 bulls out out the last 200 calves (so 3% of males).. One I have used for myself and he's produced much better calves than the purebred Limo with papers.. The second the jury is out on, I liked his calves at his previous home, but have a few months to see how he does here... My cows usually have fairly good pasture, sometimes it's overripe and they don't like it, but they'll be made to eat it anyhow.. NOTHING EVER GETS GRAIN, no creep (other than the same hay the cows are eating). It's just as easy to do it all wrong on a big place as a small one. Hector has his flaws too, but he sure pays attention to the herd like no other bull I've had. None of his family have ever needed hoof trimming, split hooves, etc and the udders have been far better than most cows I see.
