[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1209239, member: 14661"] My bulls are all AI sired but I bought them because they themselves were outstanding individuals. You can't expect magic just because of a pedigree on one half of the equation. If it were that easy we'd all have perfect stock and there would be no point in struggling to improve our cattle. I don't mean to imply that people are livestock but how many times have you seen a family with six sons where every one of them is a standout? Typically you won't. You might see one that is the epitome of what a male human should be, a few in the middle, and a few that are nothing special. DNA wise it's the same mating on all six but we know from seeing it that that's not reliable and yet with cattle we tend to throw that out the window and expect good genetics to make fantastic cattle every time. It doesn't matter what the genetic input is, you have to keep the knife sharp or the future of that bloodline won't be. [/QUOTE]
