Bull Advertisements

[Frankie]

I'd either list them all, the good, the bad, and the ugly or not list them at all.

I DID list them all. ;-)

:roll: You did NOT list the final test ratio on Lot 10. If I see three bulls advertisied as being tested and ratios on only two of them, I question why. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Your post with the ad critique was very ambiguous.

Again, I listed all the bulls I had on test. You made it sound like I should not list all my bulls that were on test.

That would be more dishonest to me.

OK enough said.
What I want to know is HOW were you able to READ the words? I didn't think my eyes were that bad. Or maybe it's because I have such a small monitor screen.

Running Arrow - the reason we do our ads in a PDF file, is that they can't "shift" any data in the email process. What you have as a finished product is what is received by the publisher. They cannot "tweak" them. Nothing can be changed.

Just a lil survey...

Hypothetically: You are thumbing through your favorite cattle magazine... Its getting bout that time of the year and you've been thinking/pondering "What bull should I use this year on the ladies?" ... What makes you stop and take notice of a certain bull or advertisement? I see advertisements for bulls in magazines a lot, but what makes you stop and get interested in a bull just from the advertisement in the magazine? What makes you see him there and come to the Cattle Today boards and post a "What do you think about So and So bull?" Are there certain details of/about the bull you look for, offspring, production record, bright colors, busy or simple?

Just trying to get some ideas or suggestions, our Herd Sire edition is coming up and I am trying to put together the ad.

Thanks for the help.
