[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1574802, member: 27490"] The reservations I have to rolling my own is this: the effort to AI is significant. I want to use bulls that not only have valuable traits but that have SALEABILITY. We often hear comments about those looking for the "bull of the month". The buyers of bulls and heifers that I speak to in the Simmental breed want a bull with "name recognition". Not a new bull that just got listed in the catalog. For example, Simmental bulls that have been around a while like Cowboy Cut, Upgrade, Grandmaster, and recently Optimizer are the bulls people look for. What I see happen with folks who collect their own bull is that the straws end up in the garbage. Unless you are just breeding for terminal, the homemade stuff just don't have much appeal. [/QUOTE]
