I am going to try and give a little advice. The bull you want to seel calves is not the bull you want to retain heifers out of. You can buy a bull with frame and muscle to sell calves out of. For retaining heifers you need a different bull. Very few bulls can do it all.

Thanks, RBB. Can I accomplish the objective of your advice as follows? I get a bull that will produce good calves for the feeder market. I use my AI program to breed my best cows to produce the type of replacement heifers that fit my operation.

Probably the best system out there for somebody that doesn't run large groups of cows but want to use a terminal bull. Your other option is to AI the poorer cows to a terminal bull and have a more maternal clean up animal.
