[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1675491, member: 16453"] 2/3-3/4 of my calves will be AI bred and I select a couple of calves to use for clean up each year. I think my cow herd looks the goods. My neighbour down the front buys bulls from reputable sales including mine and would pay around the sale average and his cow herd looks quality and he has buyers that pay top money for his weaners at the annual weaner sale. My neighbours over the back do likewise and their weaners are in demand. Further down the road is another herd of cows where they buy the cheap unregistered bulls they source wherever they can find them and after many generations of this negative selection the cow herd can only be described as scrubbers and the calves never make the feature lots at the weaner sales and are picked up by the bottom dwellers also looking for cheap.. I believe that once you take the foot off the pedal with your bull selection, in a self replacing herd your cows soon revert to average. Ken [/QUOTE]
