Which bulls are you talking about? Give some examples & maybe someone can tell you what happened.
The best bulls in the breed often spend their entire lives standing in stalls waiting to be collected. From what I have seen, the bulls that spend a lot of time as a semen donor seem to break down sooner concerning their legs and traveling.

Masny times the Insurance Value is more than the bull is worth, especially with sorry calves that often come from highly promoted bulls that finally get used in a wide selection of farms. I have also heard that some of the promoted bulls are having a hard time with DNA testing - seems our high tech has finally caught some of the "evil dooers" of the cattle breeding business.SCfarms":3ggng68m said:

dna testing should be mandatory for all breeds by their breed associations
but the truth is that the directors of most breed associations would choose to refraim from this because they are just as guilty or they would want to first cut their losses by dooping someone else

Pretty broad statement. Do you know this to be fact.
