[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 755408, member: 7645"] Good sound functional easy doing cattle that will produce a calf on grass always have a place in the industry. I don't know enough about those particular herds to necessarily recommend them over Lents, Pharo, Ohlde, etc but the more sources of unique, distinct genetics the better for the cattleman. I like AI; but the widespread use of it in the seedstock business has often led us to a situation where 40+ breeders in a general area are using the same 14 or so popular AI (often outcross) sires. Theoretically AI gives us a wider selection of bloodlines, but in actuality we have a lot of seedstock guys who are highly susceptible to promotion (probably why I get 20 emails a week promoting the latest and greatest sires to hit the AI studs).
