I thought he was syndicated?

 

[JTM]

Not that I have heard of. I know they were selling semen in the beginning but maybe they syndicated him and I didn't hear about it.  ???

What is syndicated?

bull is owned by many people, and not available to general public... Usually the only way to locate semen is be in deep with an owner, or pay rediculous ammounts at one of their public auctions. 

This will likely start a big discussion, but most bulls are done this way to insure that they're semen only gets stuck in the 'elite' cows of the country, in which it will be a no brainer that the bull will work and click with great offspring resulted.  This makes the bull look better, and drives the semen and demand upward.
