[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 489537, member: 2653"] Jon, There are people on this post who love nothing better than to put down someone else's bulls. What you have to remember is that these people (on the board) only get to see a picture or two of a bull, and then they judge it. Seeing a bull in the flesh is a totally different experience. Also, there are some really big timers on the board, and they have a "dream" bull in mind. Nothing less would do, but that bull may cost $100,000 or more. You have to take what people post with a grain of salt. They are stating their opinion; and that opinion could change dramatically if they saw the bull in person. Personally, I would never tell any person "cattle today posters saw him and didn't like him". There are too many variables. Each poster may look for certain traits, and discount others. I have a Brangus bull that I posted pictures of a couple of years back. Everyone joked and called him hatchett butt. Well that hatchett butt is now throwing beautiful calves that are in high demand in the area. We have been offered twice what we paid for the bull. Just for grins, I should post pics of him now; I'm sure that some members would still tear him up. Point is; you have to live with the bull, if you like him - that's all that matters. [/QUOTE]
