To AI, instead of catching 1 bull, you have to catch a couple dozen cows. I haven't messed with AI in many years. Is it still the rule that you can't register AI calves?
Don't think that's right. We registered AI and embryo transfer calves. You just gotta have the right paper work, have legal access to the semen from the source if you don't own the bull. Bull owner issues an AI certificate that you turn in with the registration application.
Bulls are half of the herd, much like women, you can't live with them, you can't live without them.
There is a reason why cattlemen don't have eighty bulls, and five cows.
You can easily live without any of them through the wonder of artificial insemination.
No it isn't easer AI'ing in my opinion. AI'ing is more labor intensive
AI'ing is more labor intensive, but you rid yourself of an unpredictable and potentially deadly animal from being in close proximity to yourself and your family.
I don't see it that way at all. Cows are more difficult to avoid. Bulls are easier to avoid, cows will not run past they will turn with you
I know two people who were attacked by bulls that were where they weren't supposed to be.

I bought a registered Hereford bull 6 years ago that was AI sired. Sire must have been from a northern state. He had a good coat of hair a suffered on hot days.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
My friend's Dad would get so pissed at their bull that he rammed the truck into it and broke the bull's leg. That bull ended up as hamburger after that.
In the last 7 months I have gotten so pissed at two old cows that I shot them. One out in a pasture(after she blew out of a little trap 3 times) and one right in our main corral(after she chased my old man around a bale feeder and wouldn't let us even enter the pen to sort her out).
Bang flops both.
We have one more crazy bitch(#403) who is going to town right after we wean this fall. She's fine out in the pasture but gets flat ringy in a corral. Dangerous and hard on stuff, a guy doesn't need to put up with that kind of behavior.
