[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 656854, member: 7645"] That has kind of become a problem though. To REALLY KNOW what a bull is going to do you need to see AT LEAST 5 year old daughters out in the pasture that means he would be at least 7 by then. It seems like a lot of the popular bulls in recent years for one reason or another aren't widely commercially available by then. And to really know anything about cow longevity (probably the most economically important trait to commercial cattlemen) we need to see some 11 and 12 year old daughters so you would be looking at roughly the 1995 bull crop and earlier.
