[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 63251, member: 587"] As a small producer who actually has tried both ways, let me say that with the busy life you already have, Medic, I don't recomend the sleepless nights of checking for standing heat, and trying to coordinate all your regular activities with a techs. A good bull just does the job while you sleep and work. Jake, you are forgetting something. I gave $1300 for the 092 bull. I used him two years, traded him for the 20F bull, used him one season, sold him at 8 years old on the market for $1162. It cost me about two hundred dollars when you count the fees for selling etc, plus feed, hay, and medicine to have a bull for three years. Yes, I have to replace him, but basically if you work it right, you have only the initial cost and maintenance. We had little success with AI. Medic, I think you are right on track looking for a Hereford bull. [/QUOTE]
