[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 986448, member: 2308"] I kept 5 this year. At 205 days or so, we cut them back to 2. At about 300 days we still have one going. He will get tested this spring and if he passes, he will work if not, oh well...I am not too worried about ADG, but when we weighed them he was over 800 lbs on Jan 4. We keep our bulls separated as much as possible, and I have the records to know who he is related to, so that shouldn't be a problem either. We run the bulls in separate pastures and a bit of thought goes into which cows go where so that isn't a problem either. Besides, I've known people to buy related bulls before and even full brothers at times. And know that a lot of them sure don't worry about whether the bulls are closely related to the cows either...
