[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1507092, member: 14161"] Agreed. That isn't difficult if one uses AI to a large extent. Unlike Silver, I'm kinda lazy, got that way from too many years of pointless work skidding newborn calves to the barn and shoveling manure out. Herding baby calves back out to where their Momma's will be fed is akin to chasing flies. All for the extra 35 lbs we lost per calf, added a bunch more live ones to the roster and really reduced the workload to where most of calving is enjoyable now. Therefore, having sleep-at-night heifer bulls is a high priority here. Cows rarely get brought up unless there is a problem. It took a few years and a nearly complete change of cowherd to shift to later calving but we are here now and have no urge to go back. Finding those kind of walking bulls in any number is quite difficult and can be expensive when buying from proven programs. [/QUOTE]
