[QUOTE="StrojanHerefords, post: 1791916, member: 42988"] I don't like the idea of breeding everything to just one bull, there is simply too great a chance breeding everything to the wrong bull. The biggest advantage of AI over using a bull is that I don't have to use the same bull on everything. When I AI, I generally use at least three bulls and mate the cows by size. I use a bigger bull on the smaller framed cows and vice versa. That improves consistency and at the same time allows me to keep my own bulls without having an excess of inbreeding. [/QUOTE]
