[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 358554, member: 1683"] The "% of culls" is not what determines the value, or lack therof, of a cow herd. The QUALITY of the bulls being sold is the factor which will establish a reputation of a breeder - good or bad. By the same token - if a man owns 5 head of cows, and they are all in the upper 2% for all Genetic traits of the total number of cows in the breed that year - the chances are pretty high that ALL of his bulls will be as good or better than most of the bulls sold in the country - not guaranteed, but pretty good odds. . . and he may not cull ANY of them. The higher number of cows you own, the higher NUMBER of culls you should have, but the percentage may not be too high. If I were buying bulls, I would concern myself with the QUALITY of the individuals and not fret over what % of culling the breeder performed. That is why it is important that one must be able to differentiate the Genetics which his herd requires from those which will do him no good. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
