[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1129387, member: 6543"] I have to agree with elkwc.... and this is a change that I have come to in the last ten years..... I have been a performance breeder all of my life...in an age of cheap corn it was easy to do....feed them on the feed yard model and measure the growth and look at the phenotype.... I believed in bull tests and was on bull test committees for the state BCIA.... but the econonmy has changed and the market is changing..... but agricultural producers are very slow to change old habits..... many new breeders today enjoy the technological challenge and keeping up with the computer generated stuff more than the cattle.... that gives rise to attitudes like at the end of elkwc's paragraph...... then you get cattle who are great on paper that I would not admit to owning when viewed in the flesh.... the computer is a wonderful tool but it cannot replace the eye and the art of the master breeder....
