A good Gentle Ben son here with calving ease and maternal potential.

A herd bull has one of the greatest economic influences on a cow-calf operation. Unlike many management decisions that impact only a single season, a bull’s genetics affect every calf crop he sires and can influence a herd for years through retained daughters. A typical bull may breed 25–30 cows each year, producing well over 100 calves during his lifetime. Improvements in traits such as growth, calving ease, maternal ability, and carcass merit can add significant value across multiple calf crops. Because of this long-term impact, investing in a genetically superior bull is one of the most powerful ways to improve herd productivity and profitability.
