[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 536609, member: 9"] Thanks for your comment! Each of our bulls will breed about 6-8 females this year. Depends a lot on the female's size, genetics, horn & body style, etc. We're also doing a limited amount of close line breeding. Also, since we have several females that tend to have more females than males, we try to match them with bull(s) that have a history of more females produced. We also try to calculate and do matings that will enphasize certain traits in the offspring. For example, in our experience the "Senator" line tends to produce offspring that tend to be a touch swaybacked; therefore, this line is outcrossed with our Roundup lines. When we get an offspring that has very good body, horn, and that sell readily, then we tend to repeat that breeding. A lot of factors come into play with our mating strategies. Overall, we are trying to produce offspring with very good conformation along with as much horn as possible. [/QUOTE]
