[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 229267, member: 1683"] SEC- Having never seen 2V1, I guess all one can do is read the information on him, and compare that to other bull's info and papers. (EPD's). The next step in that process would be to eyeball the individual himself, AND observe his progeny. Quaker Hill Farm had a Mature Cow Herd dispersal last Saturday, June 3, 2006. I don't know what the sale averaged, but a couple of his sons sold for $4000 ea., which did surprise me, given what I THOUGHT I knew about him. Your more intimate appraisal would seem to carry more water than mine. This is another object lesson in "Bull Buying" skills. It points out the necessity of using every tool at one's disposal to be successful at obtaining the services of the best sire at one's disposal. Phenotype, Genotype (EPD's), [b][i][u]VISUAL OBSERVATIONS![/u][/i][/b], and word of mouth from people who have "been there and done that!" would seem to be a big part of the picture in selection technics. Thanks for your input SEC. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
