[QUOTE="twabscs, post: 476757, member: 2004"] Okay, so that helps. My plan is to use the two bulls to create two different "herds" given that I recently added 90 acres about 6 miles from my current farm. 1) Home Farm - Pasture One - Anchor and "good" females that I would potentially keep replacements out of. 2) Home Farm - Pasture Two - Heifers and soon to purchase "heifer bull". Once they have their first calf, they move to pasture one. 3) Remote Farm - Pasture Three - Legend and "junk" females that I wouldn't even consider replacements out of. Over time, I'll replace Legend with a more "terminal" bull for that pasture. Three bulls for 60-70 head (end goal on 220 acres) is getting a bit pricey. Maybe I could use the "heifer bull" in the terminal pasture at some point. Or, after a couple of years, I'll just purchase good replacements. It's just too expensive to start that way given the price of good quality bred heifers. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
