[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1557922, member: 27490"] Dave Step out of your commercial shoes and take a look from the seedstock producer's perspective. The seedstock producer has to serve the markets available to him. He doesn't have the luxury of telling the buyer what kind of bull he needs. Maybe 500 pound weaning weights make more money but if the market a seedstock producer is serving wants 700 pound weaning weights, then you better have them! I am already being asked for the registration numbers on my bull calves. Those prospective buyers are already picking the bulls with the best WW and YW numbers. That is their choice and it is not a surprise. I do the same thing when I look for semen. I pick the bulls with the best WW and YW numbers. I am going to agree with Branded. There is a reason bull buyers want the bulls with good WW and YW numbers - they want bigger calves at weaning. Even if it means they are not understanding that those higher weaning weights are costing them money. As a seedstock producer, you don't tell the buyer "what he wants"!!! [/QUOTE]
