[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1364387, member: 14585"] That is the most practical advice on here. Satisfaction being the key word. If your herd genetic average is in the top 1/3 of its breed, you have to use a top 1/3 bull just to maintain status quo. If your herd averages 65th percentile and you are satisfied then the importance of the herd sire decreases significantly. It is easier to find a sire to maintain or improve genetics in a below average herd than in an above average herd. [/QUOTE]
