I've heard that beef bulls provide 75% of their calves genetic expression. Is that true?
Is that why many small herds, under 50 head, have a PB Black Angus bull, and a hodgepodge of cows? Does anyone ever keep good looking, farm-born bulls as future herd sires, or is purchasing PB bulls the only way to go?
