So I've been borrowing a winter bull (nov-dec) and a summer bull (july-aug) to service my girls for the last 10 years. The brood herd has grown to 12 animals now. I would love to keep a bull from my herd. I have a nice little red/black angus cross that came from one of my best cows. I really want to turn him into my herd bull, but I am concerned about husbandry issues.
He would eventually be breeding his mother and his half sister ?(little red angus looking heifer that came from different cow but same bull). Any off spring from mother or sister would be culled for beef.
Am I worrying too much or should I just go buy another unrelated angus bull ?
Thanks
