[QUOTE="poorfarmer, post: 1317265, member: 21638"] I think if I had to stick with the low number I would try to go the registered route and AI every year. Another thought if possible is to increase your herd to about 25-30 and buy a good bull. At least that way you would be maximizing the bulls potential. Another possibility would be to lease a bull each year. If you knew a large commercial guy, you could set your herd up on a different breeding schedule as them and and each year get a different bull, which would allow you to save heifers. Might be a good deal for both of you. I know by late August early September I am pulling some of my bulls and combining herds. Instead of penning them in the barn, leasing for a couple months would sound ok to me. [/QUOTE]
