[QUOTE="Jake, post: 903055, member: 4"] I don't know how many cows you are running but if it is any amount you need to take into consideration your direction for 2 or three years in advance because the low number of cows that a yearling will cover is almost negligable. Takes at least two breeding seasons before a bull can have any impact on a calf crop so you need to evaluate both short term and long term herd goals. Maternal vs terminal selection needs to be planned in advance. You may only have 15-20 cows that need a terminal bull this year but if you are expecting to have 40-50 head down the road in this category that needs to be in purchasing plans. [/QUOTE]
