[QUOTE="Ned Jr., post: 861991, member: 3703"] I'm with oakcreek. I understand keeping only the best for bulls and replacement heifers but if only 15 - 20% were worthy I think I'd just sell the whole darn herd and start over. Then with the new herd I'd try to improve my herd bull selection and the bulls I chose to AI to. Then if I did my homework right everyone of the heifers should have the potential of being better that there dams. I'd continually sell cows that weren't getting the job done. I know selling cows and raising replacements may not be the most cost efficient thing to do but I do feel it's the best way to improve your herd. And I think in the long run it pays. [/QUOTE]
