[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16035"] In 30 + years we've never used a cleanup bull. If she doesn't settle by the second service she grows wheels. Years ago we had problems with cows not settlingto AI, culling for fertility and conception by AI has reduced that problem to zero. We're dinky now but when we ran 100 some odd cows it was the same way. A local Black Angus breeder runs 350 cows, no bulls on the place except those that he sells. dun > You still need at least one bull > to clean up the cows with.
