[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1427684, member: 24016"] I think this bull is eye candy, but far from yard art! He is still seeing live service every year on at least 2 herds, and is still freezing well too. We have a tons of his daughters in production (in one of our commercial Lim-Flex herds) and I sell/lease several of his sons out every year. We usually feed out a couple dozen of his steer calves a year also. I can assure you, his calves do top the market and are stamped with the look of their sire. He was a $500 embryo back in the day, and he still costs me far less in maintenance than he makes me every year (and trust me, if have the expenses on my bulls figured down to the penny at this point!). TG, you're correct that management has a lot to do with it. The guy that conducts the BSE's on my bulls always makes the comment that he rarely sees bulls as old as some of mine that are still in such good working shape. Don't get me wrong, I expect my bulls to earn there keep, but I also make sure they have the management and care to maximize what genetics gave them. TT, Thanks for the compliment! [/QUOTE]
