[QUOTE="cowgirl_jenna, post: 1091644, member: 20102"] We shoot for the balanced approach when selecting bulls to use. We are mostly commercial cows with a small show string for the kids. We have got the frame size to where we want for the most part, so are focusing on cows that will produce live calves that will grow and do well in a feed lot setting. I'm always trying to better the herd looking 3-5 years in the future as to where we want the herd to go. I choose AI bulls that will compliment each individual cow. I just don't believe in the idea of using the 1 or 2 "hot" bulls out of the catalog. This is the greatest advantage of AI I believe to use the a certain bull on this cow, but a different one on that one. With the dairy cows, they are each mated individually by a herd analyzer. With choosing beef herd/clean-up bulls, we try to match our goals as good as we can. Jenna [/QUOTE]
