[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1183277, member: 16453"] Ron, I breed to produce some nice heifers to select from. Bull calves are just a biproduct of this. I do enjoy taking some of these bulls through to 2yr olds for sale. It is a bit like showing you get to see them develop to their full potential and even to follow up as they get older if you keep in touch with the buyer. Someone like me will never have that high selling bull as not many buyers know I exist. I might get a bull that is worthy of a high price but other than catching the eye of a good commercial buyer that is about it. Here in Australia those very high selling bulls from the larger studs have the word passed around by reputable classifiers that class all their cattle and go from herd to herd. Back to your question, I am building the quality but not uniformity from the cows I have bought and now bred from a very reputable herd. I like a bit of variety, some big frame but also some smaller but very dynamic growth. I hope that what I produce can help to improve the herd they enter. I do not see any point in flushing any of my cows. The 30 females I keep need to have diversity. I am now using 4-5 different AI bulls plus one of mine as backup. Ken [/QUOTE]
