[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 821489, member: 7509"] yes, as a non-AI person I forgot about the cleanup bull. If you have a herd of 30 cows and 1/3 of them don't take the AI the first time what do you do? Try again at which time your calving time window just got wider and now 3 of them don't take... If you have 30 cows and have to have a cleanup bull anyway, why not make him your primary bull? Spend a little more and get a tight calving window and more uniform calves. Then you can spend a bit more on a bull and let him do the work. You are paying to maintain a bull anyway. jmho. Obviously a different situation in a larger herd where having AI AND a cleanup bull may make sense. Also may be different for somone selling registered stock that feels they need name bulls or genetics to sell. Jim [/QUOTE]
