[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 398647, member: 2095"] I disagree (what a shock). I definitely would go ahead and collect him. He is a very eye appealing bull, his owner likes him (thus far), his EPDs are superb, his pedigree is respectable, he looks looks neither overfed or underfed, he is sound, structurally correct, from the pic he looks neither too big or too small, and he has performed well individually. Like all of us he WILL die at some point and bulls lead active physically demanding lives. They CAN turn up dead or lame at any time. How many of us have looked at a set of 10-12 year old cows that we raised and said to ourselves......I WISH that I had used THAT sire more or that I had semen from THAT bull. I would collect him now, put it in storage, and if he lives up to his potential then you can be getting new heifer calves out of him for the next 20+++ years. If he doesn't live up to his potential.....you haven't risked that much. I would stop putting it off and just go ahead and do it. [/QUOTE]
