South Dakota | I don’t have a problem with you in the least, but if your previous posts weren’t condescending then I missed it. The whole discussion about conducting BSE in bulls being the next step of stupidity, I found that condescending. In the situation you’re discussing then yes, by all means pelvic measure, but I’d argue that buying unknown heifers for breeding is always a bad idea. Buying heifers with reputation backing is the only way I’d do it, buying random heifers and expecting them to get by is a recipe for train wreck. Using cheap bulls is a recipe for train wreck too. Doesn’t matter if you run 20 cows, I’d argue a minimum of $5,000 is a great investment (unless you know the EPDs, lineage, and performance of one and can can get a deal on a surefire one). If I was using random cheap bulls paired with random cheap heifers, the first thing I’d do is stop doing that. Again, pelvic measuring works, but so does investing in genetics.

Pelvic measuring heifers?
