[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7938208, member: 86168"] when we used to buy calves in, sims never gave the same return as others, and l stopped buying them, for that reason. We are in a large dairying area, and l put the reason for the sims, not being so good, as dairy farmers were using either simx bulls, or cheap badly bred pure sims, the simx, would produce a good looking calf, as sweep up bulls, in their herds. Now we are back into dairying, we have a 3/4 bred hfrd bull, to run as a sweeper. The % of cows conceiving to AI, is high, those that don't 'hold' to AI usually have a 'problem'. We do have decent hfrd bulls, which we put cows to, after AI, but before the sweeper goes in, and they run with the hfrs. A really decent beef bull, is not cheap, and running them with the herd, accidents can, and do happen, and a lot of money can easily be lost.. [/QUOTE]
