[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1648300, member: 17304"] As far as spreading genetics or desired characteristics.....what about keeping 2 or 3 your best bull calves from your best cows and breeding the herd with them. Say with 3 bulls you would be spreading the qualities of your 3 best cows to the next calf crop and then selecting replacement heifers from that group. And if you kept any heifers along with the bulls they would be breeding their half sisters and a 1 in 3 chance of breeding their mother. If you kept the bulls a 2nd year along with more heifers then they would be breeding their daughters along with half sisters or just sell the bulls and keep new bull calves every year and you would only have the first scenerio.....what think?
