I find the Hereford breed interesting and am wondering what some of you Hereford guys think the best AI sire is for retaining heifers? I have contemplated AI'ing some of my gerts to the better Hereford sires.
I would talk to the AI stud reps, ie: Select Sires, ABSglobal, Genex, etc. For a few reasons, they provide the best quality semen you will by, they do a lot of testing on the bulls they market, they get volume feedback from customers on the semen they sell and they should have a good handle on which bulls may work better in your area. The bull studs have good lineups of Hereford bulls from a variety of bloodlines.
