[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1684884, member: 24816"] I hadn't heard an actual recommendation of using a bull that tests over 85% but it makes total sense. I have noticed that some bulls get a higher percentage bred than others, and I do believe that it correlates with a higher score. I have also noticed that some lines are more potent and typically test better than their contemporaries. We usually have our bulls tested in March or April. The way I figure it the temperature gets considerably hotter in the months following that and thus could lower the count some, so I like to have bulls that test highly. I have noticed that certain bloodlines seem to excel in that area. For Instance in Angus the New Design 036 descendants that I have used, a grandson by the ND 323 bull, a son of GAR Predestined, a son of PA Power Tool, and sons of that bull, have all tested extremely well. The vets have made comments on multiple occasions that some of those individual bulls have tested significantly higher than others we had tested those days. [/QUOTE]
