[QUOTE="NonTypicalCPA, post: 1451895, member: 25371"] I only have 5 mommas on my farm and plan on keeping at that level. I have high expectations from my current bull, which is only 25 months old. His first calf crop is turning out great and he is very easy to work around. Assuming my cows all produce consistently in the coming years, is there any down side to hanging onto this bull for 8 to 10 years? My plan is to sell all of my calves, and replace any poorly performing cows with outside blood, so inbreeding won't be a problem. My herd is registered belties if that makes any difference. Unless I get a mismarked animal my hope is to sell all the calves as breeding stock. [/QUOTE]
