[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1823044, member: 1974"] For good or bad, I did this, this year. I didn't keep any heifers the last couple of years, and I tightened up my breeding window & used that as my cull criteria to cut my herd size. This spring, I looked at the 5 yearling heifers & decided my current bull threw the kind that I want to keep. Covid threw a wrench in my plans to just buy an Angus to put on the heifers & keep my herdsire one more year, this is his 3rd spring breeding. I turned him in with his 5 daughters. I'll probably do that next spring, too, as long as his calves out of these 5 daughters have no genetic issues at birth. My primary forage is fescue, and when I find the Hereford genetics that perform well on that grass, I like to propagate them. [/QUOTE]
