[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 118316, member: 190"] I've only raised one herd bull in the past 7 years. That may just be a testimate to my poor breeding program, I don't know. But one bull calf made it intact in seven years. There are far too many excellent AI bulls to choose from to use an even medieoker herd bull just because he's cheap. Just because I like his mamma. Just because that mating should have turned out better(it just has to, I know it will). Just because he was born on my farm. Just because I don't like Star Lake's cattle. There is also WAY too many bulls out there to choose from for me to even [i]think[/i] about line breeding anything. I have a tank full of bulls that keep my genetics spread out plenty far. And I feel I still get a uniform and consistant calf crop. And one more thing...I'd be having a serious discussion with my neighbor if I were you. One of my biggest pet peeves is trash, of any kind, in my pastures. Anything other than grass, hay or cattle...doesn't belong in my pastures. Then I don't have to worry about neighbor kids crossing my fence to get their toys and I don't have to worry about "freak accidents" when my cattle get caught up in equipment that was in the pasture for the cattle to mill around.
