[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 989271, member: 14585"] Statisticly for commercial dairys, young sires give more bang for the buck and return a higher NET profit than proven sires. While it is true 80% of the young sires when proven will not make an A.I. stud lineup. 66% of them will have a higher proof than 50% of the proven bulls in A.I. lineup from the year they were used. It the basis of genetic advancement. Each generation will be slightly better. Plus young sire semen is cheaper. When using unproven bulls it is recommended to never fall in love with an individual bull. Use him and move on to the next young sire. Unless you are selling registered breeding stock, young sires have a bigger edge than a Las Vegas casino. aAa and dms matings are the only mating systems that work with either proven or unproven sires. By using aAa or dms when using unproven bulls the odds of genetic improvment are increased even more. The smart money move is to take the $ saved by using young sires and invest it into aAa or dms mating service [/QUOTE]
