[QUOTE="simme, post: 1827998, member: 40418"] Reasons to buy a bull from a bull test: Get to see all your friends at the sale. Prestige of owning a bull that graduated college. Fat bulls look good in pictures. Tested and ranked against other bulls. Gain experience in letting an overfed bull down "gently" Gain experience in detecting that you might be bidding against yourself. Gain experience in dealing with carb overload. Get new bulls more often. See bulls from several breeds and producers. More and better entertainment. Avoid seeing what the dam looks like. Reasons to buy a bull off the farm: See how bulls were fed and managed. Possible to see the dam and cow herd. Possibly lower price. Avoid crowds and people you don't want to see. Maybe avoid overfed bulls Maybe get a longer lasting bull Maybe get a bull ready to turn out Fewer phantom bidders. Quicker loadout. More and quicker bathroom options. No food, but maybe the seller will give you a moon pie and RC to tide you over until you get home. [/QUOTE]
