Semen isn't the limiting factor in breeding. You can get 1200 straws from a bull in a day.
A thousand bulls could in theory breed our enitre national herd (about 7 million) (not recommended; just making the point that síol isn't the bottleneck; it's wombs as always)
Also makes us more susceptible to pandemics because there is less parent diversity
