[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 685258, member: 6797"] I stopped reading the thread when I got to this post. Lots of average about him and I give a damm about pigmentation - it is not always a panacea. As a person who does not pay a lot of attention to EPD info and is not usually interested in pampered crap that cannot live without grain and high protein grass - this guy is interesting to me. Nope - this guy lives on rough ground - I do not want to see him with grain in him - makes him a fake in my opinion and we see that with fat greasy bulls in pictures all the time - he needs to live outdoors on what is there - that makes him real to me - breed him to your heifers and see what happens - if he turns out call me. Maybe we can see how to get him or a few semen straws over the border and not break the bank. I just picked up a few hundred bucks worth of semen from Northern Rancher - he does have some good "rough stock" that does not need a silver spoon life style to make it where it counts - in the field. Your bull is far better than 90% of what we see here and for that matter maybe 95% If we saw more animals in their working clothes that looked like this we could see an overall improvement in the herds of this continent. The vast number of which live in pastures of hundreds of acres in size, are not hand fed, not sheltered and certainly not even seen for days upon end - I like an animal that can do that. You can keep your greasy bulls at home - they may look pretty but they often fall apart when they need to pick up the pace - just because a bull is big and fat in a picture does not mean he will make good calves - I want my bull to breed even when he is tired, sore and hungry - I want my calves to hit the ground and live - even when I do not get a chance to see them for a long period of time. I want to see some of this guys calves if you have the time and patience and money to do it. And yes - we are getting out of cows - it just seems to be taking longer than planned! 8) Regards Bez+ [/QUOTE]
