I agree with Salatin on just about everything...except AI. MILLIONS of sperm...the #1 guy is lucky, not necessarily "better." AI takes a great bull, and promotes his superior genetics over a wider cow herd than he could do naturally. Speeding up evolution, if you will.
That said, AI isn't some kind of guarantee of a good outcome -- the same cow/bull combo can yield VASTLY different calves from year to year. Just like a skinny guy that has a fat brother.
