[QUOTE="Dave, post: 652922, member: 498"] My opinion for what is worth is that poorly banded calves are probably not a huge part of this problem. Odds are a short sacked bull will be considerably less fertile than an intact bull. More likely the biggest part of this problem is caused by yearling bulls running with their sisters. I regularly see yearling intact bulls at the sale yard. If you pay attention most days a group of heifers that match those bulls will come through. Of course with the way cattle move in this day, the bulls will go one way and the heifers might end up three states over. Nobody at that end has a clue that those heifers were running with a bunch of bulls. [/QUOTE]
