[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1481052, member: 12607"] Either scenario is OK. Breeding your heifers to their sire's half-sib is not a problem, especially for a commercial producer - unless both were carriers of a known genetic defect. You'll get little black calves, and they won't know or care (and no one else will either) that their father is also their uncle. If I liked the bull I had on hand, I'd continue to use him, unless there was something about the other one that made it worth selling this one in order to make room for him. [/QUOTE]
