[QUOTE="smoothmule, post: 1649075, member: 25457"] I also have sold bull calves as herd sires and I get a lot of great feedback. I know mine are not registered, or even a “breed” but I sometimes get outstanding bull calves and I have my vet do a thorough breeding exam before I’ll sell as a bull. They are slower to mature but they are breeding years after other bulls are done and the hybrid vigor shows in the calves. Before I got into Gyr crosses, I’ve personally used Registered bulls that produced health or breeding issues and found out from my vet that the issues were genetic, through the bull I rented. All breeds have “issues” of some sort. I can say I breed for health and vigor, I’ve never lost a calf or adult to illness. [/QUOTE]
