[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 23340, member: 13"] Be sure the bull has a Breeding Soundness Exam (BSE) before you buy him, understand how to read a BSE. Ask the seller if he offers a breeding guarantee and watch the bull for a while. Be sure he's actually setting cows. A virgin bull is less likely to pass on veneral diseases to your cow herd. If you're buying bulls that are sired by AI bulls, you're probably getting the breed's newer genetics, perhaps that's what part of the "virgin bulls are best" claim? [/QUOTE]
