[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 229444, member: 2095"] I agree. I have never seen 1407 in person, probably will never buy his semen, and his name certainly would not have leaped to my head as being amoung the top ten Angus sires in history; BUT some of the criticism he received in this string has been OVER THE TOP!!! IF I am buying a bull all it takes is one trait which does not meet my criteria. IF "I think" a bull is weaktopped, lacks muscling, is too short, too tall, not long enough, too long, has too high a birth wt, too low a weaning wt., has sucky carcass EPDs, has an awkward gait, has a mama I just did not like, OR I thought just acted too wild, etc I am not going to buy the dude. IF one trait does not meet my minimal criteria then I certainly won't use him....even if more experienced persons thought differently. I am not telling anybody to use or NOT to use 1407. I know him only through reputation and promotion so really don't have an opinion on THAT topic. BUT some posters in this string I think have tended too pile on to make their rationale for not using the bull even stronger. 1407 may not be perfect (who is???) and I could certainly make a case for NOT using him but I don't think he is the mediocre basketcase that some here have claimed he is either. I am not defending 1407 here; but rather am pointing out that some posters MAY at times exaggerate some too strengthen their arguments. [/QUOTE]
