[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 317235, member: 193"] Personally I hate to go to a bull sale and see so many different sires used. If you breed every cow to a different bull its almost impossible to tell what your cows are doing. Was the difference you saw between cows due to their ability to raise a calf or due to differences in the calfs sire. With only 12 cows I would breed no more than two bulls this year. Pick out the bull that performs the best and use him next year along with a new bull. Keep this up a few years and you will know the best bull to use and you will have a uniform group of half sisters for your cow herd. Just my opinion, Johnny [/QUOTE]
