[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1484358, member: 24565"] Depending on your ability to read/know the animals and your long term goals you will never buy a bull (99% of the time) that will function as well as a home raised bull if you want him to sire replacement daughters. The exception is a proven bull. Using a son of an AI terminal bull from somebody else who bought the semen from a picture and some numbers is a big gamble. Those 10 in the pen: there are others that are not available (top end) and some that were culled. Your calves will not look like the 10 in the pen but the entire range of looks that you only see a fraction. Terminal does not look or act like maternal. Terminal is easy to find. Nobody ever sells their best unless you can get in on an aged bull that has replicated himself sufficiently. [/QUOTE]
