[QUOTE="Keren, post: 668129, member: 3195"] Murray Grey We keep about 5% of bulls intact, sometimes less, never more. We could sell more intact than that, we have more enquiries for bulls than we have bulls, but to keep your nuts around here you'd better be bl00dy good. We wont sell any bull that we wouldnt keep and use ourselves. As for females, its a little different as it changes every year. We probably keep 10-15% of the heifers for ourselves. Another 10 - 15% go the terminal route with the steers. The rest are sold as breeders, generally speaking they are all registered heifer quality but tend to go to commercial guys as seedstock.
