[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1738067, member: 39347"] We have AI’d for the past 3 years, 100% conception (lucky-very small herd). Bred to a bull I really like and got a bull calf I would like to hopefully keep to use as a yearling, then sell him or eat (we ate an 18 monold bull and he was quite tasty.) how do you KNOW? We had a nice calf last year that has made a really nice steer, but I’d like to actually use the genetics I’m buying for more than just a steak… if I could get 2 calf crops out of a single AI breeding…if he falls apart at 5 months, how terrible is banding in June in Texas (flies, etc)? I also have not figured out the magic of taking pictures of black cattle. He is currently 6 weeks old, 75% Aberdeen/25% Brangus. [/QUOTE]
