[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17475"] Eric, Dun is right. I got docked because of the ear and the pattern. The bull I was using was very painted up like a longhorn or shorthorn. I have found that the solid Beefmasters sell better than the painted up ones do, but they still don't bring anything near what the solid black or solid reds do. Also, remember when reading breed info from any of the breeds that they are sending out marketing info. They overemphasize the positives of there breeds while leaving out the negatives, in most cases. Afterall, they are trying to get you to buy their breed. They want your fees for keeping the animals registered and they want to increase the values of the animals already for sale. It's like buying a car. When you buy a suburban they don't tell you about the mileage. When you buy a Tercell they don't mention the poor survival rates in car accidents. Remember to look at everything with a jaundiced eye when you read marketing info. Again, I have had a good experience with my beefmaster girls as far as handling them. One other problem I have had and so has a neighbor is that they are late maturing and sometimes never give you a calf. They seem to have a higher sterility rate than some of the other breeds. Good luck on finding some cows you enjoy. [email=GEscoe@msn.com]GEscoe@msn.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
