We use different AI bulls each year in order to continually improve and evolve our genetic offerings. Before our bull sale each spring, we collect a select few of our own high performing yearling bulls and use them heavily in our AI program. All of our AI bulls are PAP tested in order to continue the progress of our high altitude program.
