[QUOTE="Smertus, post: 45208, member: 582"] If you had a herd of purebread angus, raised your own replacements, primarily used AI, and your primary market was breading stock. Would it be a good idea to bread your heifers to a low bw herferd bull? Sell the calfs as stocker or keep them... That way you see how she will perform and maybe increase her first year of production through hybrid vigor... Has anyone done this or know about something similar? If this is not a good idea, how does a first calf typically get maketed? Don't hold back, if this is sounds terrible let me know... I can take it. [/QUOTE]
