[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 899908, member: 7509"] That's my point - if I still need to have a bull around all year even with AI, I might as well keep 2 bulls around and do some herd improvement with careful linebreeding as described in the link from my own known genetics. Just bring in a good outside registered bull, in my case Hereford, every few years for the registered cows and keep a good son or son of a son so the main bull is never breeding his daughters. That's my plan to build my herd internally. I can not see myself ever buying any more outside females. It takes a few years to see the often major differences between cow families. I want to build from my known cow genetics to build the cowherd for my system. With two bulls, one outside registered plus one raised I can use the second bull to spread my best cow genetics around.
