[QUOTE="Midtenn, post: 1508901, member: 24781"] Commercial herd: We use A.I. Maternally oriented Bulls for replacements. Timed A.I. once on our most fertile, docile, and productive cows, then clean up with terminal (carcass) bulls. It's easier that way and we THINK a little more profitable in the long run. We usually AI about 20-25 cows out of 100. The other 80 get the terminal bulls. Carcass traits are not quite where we want yet, we're working on it. Best thing i like about AI , I can use a brangus on my angus, angus on brangus or a hereford on my ultrablacks and at the same time AI the registered cows. This year we also AI'd 12 heifers simply because we didn't have a heifer bull at the time. Exception is occasionally there's a really fertile, easy calving, small frame cow, that always raises a big calf.... we may keep her heifer out of the terminal bull. [/QUOTE]
