[QUOTE="SEC, post: 181486, member: 3241"] Guess what unless you are using bulls that are old... they are unproven whether or not they are AI sired. Ever wonder why full brothers from the same flush can even be so different? TC Stockman and TC Rancher are flush brothers, both are AI sired and yet they are like peas and carrots when it comes to their abilities. I don't care how many generations of AI an animal comes from they are still no more proven then what the accuracies of they EPD's indicate. I don't run a lot of cows. We will calves just under 60 head this year and will breed about 80 head this year. Of that I plan to breed around 1/2 of the cows to one bull. He's not perfect, but he's does less wrong then a lot of bulls I know. Producing the best calves I can is all I am after, the fact that it's not an AI bull makes me even more excited. EPD wise his combination of EPD's leave him in the top of the breed. This he has proven on his own and at the ranch where he was sold to, he started out with modest numbers. I own his dam, have a few daughters and everything points towards using him hard, without the EPD's. [/QUOTE]
