[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1574843, member: 968"] I am extremely picky as to which ones I leave intact. Unlike you, I do not believe every bull born should go out and multiply. Granted, probably only 10% of my bulls "need" castrating, but I do not have a great bull market here in Upstate NY. If I sell 3-5 a year, I'm doing well. And, I don't keep any bulls past 9 months of age, which is not the easiest bull market. I really don't need to explain my program, but my weaned heifers are my money making market. I mentioned culling for temperament, because it is important to me. I cannot remember the last female I culled for temperament - well, yes I do. 7 years ago when my nephew came to live with me, I had a 2 year old that hunted him down. She got shipped for hamburg. I have bus loads of students and groups visit my farm. Many city people that don't have a clue how to behave in a field with cows. My cows intimidate some, because they will come over & lick their shoes or pull on their shirt tails. I do not think anyone IGNORES DNA or EPD's, but they are a TOOL. You do seem to forget that. No one has said your bull won't go out and breed cows/heifers. If you put out a picture/video, you need to learn to listen to comments and learn from them. Quit bristling up - it's annoying - you seem to do it on purpose. [/QUOTE]
