Abstract
It is often said that a bull contributes half the production in a calf crop. This may be true for an average bull, but probably exaggerates contributions from a poor quality bull and dramatically underestimates those from a good bull. A good bull offers both high fertility and high genetic breeding value for one or more economically important characteristics, such as growth, calving ease, maternal value and carcass quality.
