[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 656698, member: 5898"] Well at least I hope we've progressed from using the latest greatest showring dictated mistake-using young bulls in several different management schemes and situations is definately the way to prove him. One thing I think most people don't realize is that cattle are alot better on the average now that they were 40 years ago-we went from the horse and buggy days of genetic improvement to pretty much the space age- there really isn't any new bull that's going to move a herd dramatically-I think if one can tweak a couple traits in a positive direction that's a pretty good goal. The old adage 'If it's too good to be true-it probably isn't' certainly holds true. On our place we usually either turn a young bull out with everything a few days early to get a cross section or use him on some pooorer cows-I like a bull that makes things better/easier for me-if he can fix some udders and feet and throw daughters that don't eat or milk themselves out of a home that's good enough.
