[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4841"] Yea, we breed strictly AI...we don't even have a clean-up bull. Actually we are looking to use a couple different Angus bulls this year on some of our Gelbvieh heifers and mature cows to product Balancer hybrid bulls. In our bull market the majority of cattle producers are running small herds and either work in town or have other farming operations that don't allow them to check regularly on cows during calving season. Consequently, they are looking for bulls with good calving ease and low birth weight EPDs. I'm always on the lookout for that unique calving ease bull (whether it be a Gelbvieh, Angus, or Red Angus)that also maintains or improves muscling and also has adequate growth. I'd love to hear suggestions of any bulls you have used that do this. > He's pretty young with low > accuracy EPDs, but a good looking > bull. Are you planning to AI? Are > you breeding heifers?
