[QUOTE="oakcreekfarms, post: 399379, member: 3177"] I understand that risk is where the money is held, but I am not going to chase a single trait to bankruptcy. He has a good pedigree, that helps, but doesn't show how he himself is going to work. He has an unknown mother, a sire that is only growing in success and not proven (no daughters with info gathered). Herefordsire with your thinking every well bred bull would turn out great. That is far from the truth. Do you know how many full brother 3008 had that weren't really all that successful. Do you know how many times 517 was bred. He has a long ways to prove himself, and his ancestors don't do that for him. This bull has no REA, IMF, or back fat ratios. He is going to have to prove what he can do with his weaning calves. Then he is going to have to get daughters into production, Governor will help save the udder quality. Then those daughters are going to have to wean heavy calves, then the bull might see outside use. What is that, 4 years down the road if you bred him to 100 cows now. Maybe my thinking is way off. [/QUOTE]
