[QUOTE="houstoncutter, post: 1116887, member: 807"] Heard you the first time , thee bulls at the most and two bulls if they were three year olds. Done it many a time along the Gulf Coast. This is one of the most difficult places in the country on cattle. Bulls breeding in 95 degree temps with 80 % humidity . Of course most commercial guys are going to by bred heifers to begin with anyway. Growing your own just doesn't make sound financial sense or good cow sense. You loose hybrid vigor with your crosses . If it's purebred it makes even less since because then your saying that 40 % of your heifers are worthy of being replacement heifers [/QUOTE]
