BENEFITS OF SELECTING BOYD BEEF BULLS
WHY SO MUCH EMPHASIS ON BULLS?
Bulls have the greatest economic impact on any breeding program. Thus, bull selection is one of
the most important decisions and investments that a cow man makes during the course of a year.
A bull sires 20-40 calves each year, while a cow produces half or less than this many offspring in
her entire lifetime. For the most part, herd improvement comes from bulls. It has been estimated
that 80% of herd improvement is directly attributed to bull selection.
WHY BUY A REGISTERED
ANGUS OR HEREFORD BULL?
Because they are documented for ancestry, per-
formance and genetic defects while having up-to-
date EPDs and performance information available
to cattlemen.
They add value and credibility to the individual
and the program you select your genetics from.
