[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1167633, member: 12607"] Guess what I'm getting at is that you don't HAVE to replace your bull every two years. If you want to, fine, but there's nothing inherently WRONG with breeding a bull back to his daughters - or, if he's lasted long enough and been working in another pasture, back over his own granddaughters. You don't have to look at many pedigrees - in most breeds - to find prominent sires like EXT, 6807, 600U, etc. multiple times up pretty close in a 3 or 4-generation pedigree. Y'all do what you want, but I'm getting my money's worth out of my well-liked old boy... split fall/spring calving seasons, so he gets to 'work' twice a year, and with AI and him doing cleanup, he's not doing much inbreeding...a few, but all but two have been steers - one double-cross heifer left, one stayed.
