[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 568421, member: 1683"] There are many different ways to judge herd sires, by many different breeders, but just as a plain old ordinary, happy banana, plain vanilla analysis, he is a good, average bull to sustain or improve the average medium farm or small ranch herd. He is not the best in any trait that he displays, nor is he the worst. He could be improved with a little more thickness and width, and a little more length, but he is fairly well balanced, standing on reasonably good bone, and is just a pretty darned good Hereford bull. I don't think I would keep daughters for breeding from him, because that wouldn't project a great genetic improvement in one's herd, but for an average cow-calf continuing operation, he would fill the bill for another year or so. IF - you can discover a knock-out bull which will jump-start your herd for heifer retention for the future, I would suggest you grab it if you can get him for a reasonable amount of money - less than $4000.
