[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1562035, member: 37967"] I have a bull right now that if on your operation would probably make your neighbors jealous. He is a beautiful bull, but he has low $B. What does beautiful get me at weaning? Don't get me wrong, he's a strong bull from a maternal trait standpoint and efficiency traits, but he is not going to make it happen on the feedlot like say an EXAR Denver 2002B son. I seriously wish you the best in ignoring EPD's. Do you think Zoetis and Angus has put that much research into things for the fun of it? For sh.ts and giggles? Those numbers have serious ramifications. The bull I have never fails to make people giddy when they stand beside him, but if I could trade him for Hoover Dam, it would take less than a nanosecond for me to make that decision. My clients don't ask about all the EPD's, they have to be explained, and that is a good point you brought up. What they are concerned about is this, will this bull make some nice steers that wean off strong? Will this bull make some high-quality daughters? The answer is yes for Stone Gate Kingston, it's H.LL YES! for Hoover Dam. I can tell you without a doubt that my Hoover Dam and Connealy Capitalist daughters are better than the daughters from Stone Gate Kingston. Hands down. [/QUOTE]
