[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 961580, member: 19539"] Sometimes it happens. I prefer to see the bull, parents and progeny too if possible. We like to breed for longer bodied cattle (more steaks lol) And nothing with a super deep rib. For our program they grow well enough without a big rib. It's mostly hamburger anyway. We actually find in our crossbred herd the "sawed off" short bodied calves take longer to put muscle on and have a poorer yield. When you sell most of your stock by hanging weight, you don't like a loose ribbed lower yielding calf. Probably why we like the BB mixed into the simmys... brings us what we like for our niche. I say it's nice to have a visual, but I like the EPD to back it up. [/QUOTE]
