[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 713222, member: 13"] You do live in a small world, don't you? In the United States, the average herd of cattle is less than 40 head. In my area, it might be fewer head than that. Though we've sold bulls to the largest individual rancher in this area and the largest ranching operation in the state regularly buys bulls at our test station, I'm more concerned with selling to smaller produers. There are more of them, I enjoy visiting with them, and their money spends fine. For the last few years we've sold most of our bulls to neighbors. I'm pretty proud of that. Lots of bulls won't produce semen that will freeze or meet the standards for AI companies. I'm sure whatever your pet rock, you could find someone from an AI company to agree with you that your particular rock is the problem. Being scarce doesn't make semen valuable; if a bull can't produce, I'm not interested in using him. The old EXT bull produced good, freezable semen until he was over ten years old and produced hundreds of sons that performed well in bull test stations round the country. Using a performance tested bull will be the best way to improve your cattle on feed's performance. :D [/QUOTE]
