[QUOTE="S.R.R., post: 272475, member: 1442"] First off aim for a butcher date of a year old give or take a month or so the chances are that this alone will help quite a bit. A lot of people do not like the taste of an older animal. Some do of course but alot don't! Next since you are AI them the world is your oyster! Take some time and go through the british bulls that are avalible to you and look for one that has an average to good BW with a much higher then average YW. Remember that if you pick a british bull of a breed other then shorthorn you get the added bonus of hybred vigor! Then last but not lest if you like the taste of grain fed beef, and you can afford it, finish them on as much corn as they will eat with free choice hay and plenty of clean water for the last 3 months. It is[b] VERY[/b] importain that you start them out slow with the corn and build them up to full feed. [/QUOTE]
