[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1075859, member: 637"] Doc, In search for the best bull, I am always trying to decide which trait I am willing to sacrifice. When I look at the bull as a whole; comparing each bull to one another, there are so many things to consider. Some seem to be so perfect, but they take their pictures with the front end up higher than the hips. Or they show the bull standing in grass up to his knees. So many have trouble in the hips, rear legs and feet, that I am over cautious. With Basin Payweight, he has such high numbers, yet I must give up marbling. He seems to stand correct as his back leg is at the correct angle. Of course I would be very sick if all of the calves had odd hinged hocks, or sloppy hips. I have a new bull coming soon that will be able to correct the marbling if I use Payweight, as his will be +.92. Using Payweight on the 3 open cows just might give me a heifer or two to add to my cows. I have had all bulls up until this year, which I had two heifers. You are absolutely correct on the dancing partner theory. I have been trying to get the partners together but can't find ones that match. [/QUOTE]
