[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 985433, member: 7509"] I am not an AI user, however it seems to me that everyone I know of who uses AI also has a cleanup bull to catch the ones that don't take - or you repeat and repeat until you have a really strung out calving season. If you have a good local Hereford breeder nearby, why not do what you really want to do: buy a virgin Hereford bull unload him into the pasture with the girls on your bull in date, leave him there until weaning time and ask Dudley for help finding a buyer in the fall? I bet they'd help you do that. Or by fall have a fence up and leave your bull and a steer in a separate pasture over the winter until next summer bull in date. It doesn't take a whole lot of facilities to over winter a bull and a steer together. And "be nice the color". Life is too short and cattle cycles too long to not do what you believe in and really want to do. jmho. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
