[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 825445, member: 7509"] That sounds like the consensus. Selling him for slaughter would also be a lot easier. I'll wait and see how things go this summer then decide. Perhaps I'll keep him for a second year. I would imagine it is the pits to sell him for baloney and then find next spring his calves come out like they can walk on water... The reason I am using him to breed some non-related commercial cows is to get the genetics of his dam spread around my herd a bit more. The bull himself typifies what I am looking for: calving ease but rapid, solid (not fat) growth on forage mostly, finished on corn (although he has not been on corn). Knersie, by the way I have paid my dues and am a member of the AHA. I intend to register a few registerable calves this year. My plan is to develop a small registered group more out of curiosity than anything else. I am not interested in getting into the bull business. I like eating and selling freezer beef. Mostly just learning and trying to bring in outside genetics to develop my commercial freezer beef herd into the most efficient group I can. I have a very good local market in the Bloomington (WI) Livestock Exchange and in the end at current prices will probably sell this bull for slaughter there after I am done with him. Thanks all for your comments. Jim [/QUOTE]
