[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 985167, member: 7509"] Randi, if you use 7 bulls and replace one or two a year you might save some money by saving one or two bull calves each year out of your best cow/bull matings and using them as yearlings the next year or two on an un- or distantly related group. This saves you some money on bulls. It also concentrates the genetics you like and are best suited to your conditions. The system is working well for me so far. Combined with bringing in new outside bulls from time to time keeps fresh genetics coming in but builds on the best genetics you already have. They can winter with the older bulls with minimal problems because of the age difference - there is no question who is in charge! Best of luck to you - Jim [/QUOTE]
