[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1276214, member: 20599"] I agree with you, up to a point. However, we do not have a clean-up bull, so for us, an easy breeder (AI) is hard to give up. We have also been told by a friend (Cornell ag expert) that she has one of the better conformations in our herd...Also, the calf is sneaking occasional snacks from a cow who is notoriously generous (raises a big calf of her own, supplements the odd stray or bottle calf, and still maintains her condition very well). So the decision is not so cut-and-dried to me, at this point anyway. I plan to see which direction things are heading then decide. Regardless where he's getting fed, her bull (now steer) calf is very nice (Weigh Up is the sire). Thanks for the input, it's helpful to know others' thoughts. [/QUOTE]
