[QUOTE="novatech, post: 482792, member: 5494"] According to Jim Lents you can stabilize a herd in 3 generations. Given that, it will take me approx. 8 years to get there. I plan on taking a short cut and buying semen from some producers that have done exactly what I am attempting. There bulls go back to the exact same bull my cows go back to. The tough part will be culling when the bad stuff appears. Some of that will not show up for a long time, longevity, udders, and the like. Just hope I can find someone that can takeover my cattle that has the same goal in mind. I am not getting any younger, and dragging genetics up from the past takes a long time. [/QUOTE]
