[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 565714, member: 1683"] Folks, here is another example - VERY loud and VERY clear - that "pictures" should [b]NEVER[/b] be the criteria for making final judgements for seedstock selection! The pictures of P T Wustof 906 should be stamped in your brain cells very indelibly to the point that you should NOT forget them. The bull may be an exceptional individual genetically, and possibly functionally, BUT his Phenotype -IN THESE PICTURES - leaves SO much to be desired that I wouldn't even consider him for a clean up bull without actually seeing him and putting my hands on him! Frankie said it very succinctly - "That's showbiz". The business of raising acceptable cattle for Seedstock and breeding for profit is one phase of Beef Production - - and raising them for :banana: :banana: :tiphat: [b][i][u]SHOWTIME!!! :banana: :banana: :clap: :clap: :cry2: :cry2: [/u][/i][/b] is a WHOLE-'NUTHER thing - -ALLtogether! ...and seldom do the two 'twains' ever meet successfully! They are TWO separate businesses. The 'sway-back' characteristic, if physiologically legitimate and NOT just because he was "set-up" incorrectly, is real for this bull, he should never be used as a breeder of seedstock cattle. Feedlot steers - maybe, but NEVER to pass that characteristic on to breeding progeny! Bottom Line - It is NOT advisable to buy seedstock from pictures ONLY! DON'T GET ME STARTED! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
