[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 69881, member: 1017"] Isn't everybody? I can only assume that the guys that are AIing to bulls with low WW and YW are trying to downsize their cattle, and the ones who are AIing to bulls with low Milk and CEM are not keeping any heifers. Is this correct for the most part? I am trying to improve on every aspect of my cattle at this point as any decent heifer may be held over for a replacement or any bull sold as a yearling in the local market. I will probably not castrate any bull calves until weaning time when I will be able to tell a little more about how good of an animal they are. That being said, I think I am leaning toward getting the 517 semen and holding it till later. I will use PW Victor Boomer this first go around then any "keeper" heifers will be bred back to 517 down the road. That gets me excited just thinking about it, a Victor Boomer daughter bred to 517!! I'm sure there are some calves out there with this background. If any of you have some, I'd like to here about them or see pics of them. It just sounds like an awsome cross. I think I would end up kicking myself later if I pass on the 517 straws because I will always wonder what I could have had. [/QUOTE]
