My Dad, the Colonel, bought bulls the way he bought some of his cows. He liked to try to draw to an inside straight and pick culls out of the slaughter auction. Of course, he went to the bull auctions, too, and one year he decided to loosen his purse strings and bought two fancy registered Black Angus bulls. The semen test was 11 out of 10 and they were exceedingly handsome. And priced accordingly.
There were a couple of our other bulls in the same pasture so it took a year or two to realize these fancy bulls were not breeding. They were bird watchers. The fancy bull breeder used artificial insemination.
The Colonel passed away two years ago and I find myself running a cattle ranch in East Texas. An accountant from Houston, I don't know anything about cattle but I have a theory that AI can breed out libido in bulls without the breeder realizing it. What say you?
