[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 396895, member: 13"] We've been using gomer bulls for 12-15 years and feel like they're worth while, especially since we're a total AI program. Our first was Jersey sidewinder. He got mean pretty quick and went to the sale barn. We probably only used him two years. Then we went to Longhorns. Generally we buy them before they're old enough to have bred anything so we don't have to worry about disease. After they've been around for a while to decide if their disposition is ok, we get the horns removed and a vasectomy. We also look for one with a lot of white on him because he stands out better in the pasture and woods than the black cows. We put a chinball marker on him with yellow paint so he leaves a yellow line down the back of the cow as he dismounts after "breeding" her. But you've still got to do a lot of heat checking. We've been very pleased with most of our longhorns. I don't worry about them being too big to mount heifers and we're usually able to use them for 4-5 years. We did get rid of one earlier than that because he acted up. [/QUOTE]
