OK, I finally got off my lazy keister and bought some semen. The results of the bull poll to see which sire was favored were for The Shadow and after many months, I am still leaning that way - so I bought two straws of semen from The Shadow.
There is a guy I found locally that will take shipment of the semen, and will then take care of the artificial insemination process for me. He claims a 70% success rate, so we'll have our fingers crossed, and if the AI fails, I have a neighbor who is supposed to be getting a longhorn bull in a couple of months for his small herd - he said I can run my hiefers over there for a few months if needed to get them bred.
So, The Shadow is the main plan and the neighbors bull will be the backup plan.
