[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 560382, member: 1683"] CPL is right. Bull selection should be made [b][i]AFTER[/i][/b] you have carefully decided what your future goals (10 years, more or less) are going to be, and what [i]type[/i] Beef operation you desire to pursue - Maternal, Terminal or a combination of both. It would be very advisable to not get the "Bull" before the cart! Obviously, from your current cow herd, you are going to be highly involved in crossbreeding genetics. I would suggest that you carefully concentrate on what the results two and three generations down the line from today will be, and THEN decide if those results are what your goals will turn out to be.
