[QUOTE="Alan, post: 955468, member: 378"] Thanks for the reply Bigbull, I'm keeping Herefords as an option, but in the last two years I have had to DNA two heifers to see if they were a little late or a little earlier to determine AI or clean up. I don't raise and sell bulls, I'm too small of a hobby guy, although I have raise a few of my own clean up bulls. So with keeping herfs as one option for a new bull, I'm really leaning toward a different breed clean up bull next time. With AIing to Herf bulls I'll still end up with Herf steers or with luck a good Herf clean up for the future. But with an Angus or balancer or etc., I can get some F1 vigor and a few extra bucks at the sale barn. Another problem with raising my own clean up bull in a small herd is genetics get pretty close some times, which I'm approaching with M326 lines in my herd. next year I should only calve out 14 head, to give all an idea of the size of my herd. Thanks to all, Alan [/QUOTE]
