[QUOTE="Badlands, post: 358418, member: 5010"] It just depends, but a good percentage of the ones selling on RFDTV are selling close to 80-85% of their bull crop. The ones that sell very much less than that generally advertise how deeply they cull with percentages, ie "we tested only the top 50% from weaning", etc. But, you have to watch the promotion, too. One guy I know advertises one thing about how much he culls, but he still markets close to 80% of the bulls that are born. That doesn't strike me as culling hard. One of the guys I bought my original cows from sold 8-10 bulls per year from a 120 cow herd. This is a little closer to "hard culling" I think. Badlands [/QUOTE]
