[QUOTE="js1234, post: 1380308, member: 17596"] Keeping first calf heifers that don't breed back is risky and one of the most potentially damaging decisions one can make for his herds pofitablity due to the risk being taken with the reproductive efficiency of your herd. Those slow breeding traits ought not to be given an opportunity to propagate. AI bred AND a 90 day cleanup season, then coming to the chute open is unacceptable no matter how hot or dry it has been. The one caveat of course being if the bull isn't a a sound breeder. I'd semen test him and while he's there, swab him for trich too since that's good business and you can check that off the list for moving forward. I do agree that there is no correlation between this issue and any given breed. [/QUOTE]
