[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 713639, member: 7645"] I have been in this biz for 30 years, and I couldn't list the names of 3 Limousin Bulls after Harvest Olympus, the only Santa Gertrudis bull whose name I remember is Monkey, Bodacious is the only Charbray bull I can name, Macho is the only Simmental I know by name, Sin City is the only Shorthorn I can recall at the moment, I am drawing a complete blank on Brangus's, Murray Grey's, Brafords, Main Anjous, Longhorns, Chianinas etc. I can probably come up with about ten Charolais, Red Angus (starting with Cherokee Canyon) and Beefmasters (strarting with Robert E Lee), my recall is stronger on Pinzgauers (i still get the magazine), and a lot stronger on Herefords and Angus's. Somebody who was not in this business probably can't name a bull.....Bodacious might be the only exception. Most IN this business who never subscribe to a breed magazine probably can't. About 75% of bulls marketed for A.I. turn up duds. There is either something mildly wrong with them or they just don't offer enough to be more than a flash in the pan. Nobody is going too change the name of a bull that is already very popular so you are risking your money on some showy calf and IF you are wildly successful (878 or EXT type successful) MAYBE half of the cattle industry will know it and less than 1% of the populace.
