Congrats? I've been pretty much 50/50 the past few years so it will be interesting to see what happens next year with 2 new bulls.

Id much prefer bull calfs from this group, but a live calf is always good. Ive got some decisions to make in October for sure

I once lost an otherwise decent account due to percentages. I went in, fixed his repro problem from start to finish. Worked with his vet, his nutritionist, got him set up on a young sire program to save him money... Eleven months after I started he asked me to meet him in the office and fired me because he averaged 68% bull calves on what he had calved so far. I couldn't get him to see that he was literally get twice as many calves as he had been and that I had zero control over the ratio. Guess I got lucky, though. He crawled through his next breeders truck window and tried to stab him.
