[QUOTE="Galloways1, post: 921538, member: 13016"] For the sake of aurgument / discussion, i will bite. We can all agree that using AI is human influence in a natural act (reproduction). Mac is asking if 2 bulls concieved via AI can have less libido, than bulls concieved naturally. Obviously their sire had viable sperm, as they are living proof. Would their sires have bred those same cows in a herd inviroment with competition from other bulls? We don't know, do we? If any of you have seen multiple bulls, you know some breed a hell of alot more cows that others. The heavy use of AI bulls (in some breeds) has been responsible for many offspring (characteristics- BW, genetic defects, no milk) that would have never been concieved, let alone survived in NATURE. So I won't jump on MAC for asking a legitimate question, and I will say, sure AI bulls could have less libido than non AI bulls. Just like calves out of an AI bull could weigh 150 lbs and have to be C-sectioned, where as a bull that does that in a natural setting would have 0 live offspring, without human intervention.
