[QUOTE="ArmyDoc, post: 667883, member: 6832"] It sounds like your finding that between 25-30% of your bull calves are suitable for breeding, and between 60-65% of your heiffers - is that about right? That's encouraging. I was under the impression that less than 10% of bulls would be "keepers", but if you are using good genetics, this seemed low to me. What do you mean by "yearling bulls of the yard"? and how does this let everyone know they haven't been picked over? Also, I'm assuming since you keep the bulls till they are two, I'm assuming you run them in their own herd. Do you have trouble with fighting? [/QUOTE]
