[QUOTE="ColemanCreekCattle, post: 705865, member: 13414"] As a small seedstock producer, the only way you can compete with the big producers is to use AI, exclusively. You will not ever compete with any seedstock producer (large or small) using subpar natural service sires. 1 three yr old bull can serve 30 cows say you spend $3000 on that bull + feed and care for a year AI 30 cows for Semen $20; Cidr $10; AI tech $20 per cow and even if you have to breed them 2 times to catch that cost = $3000, but you will be having calves from the best bulls anywhere vs the natural herdsire you found.
