[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 535578, member: 5478"] We have been running longhorn bulls for calving ease on our first calf baldy heifers for the last five years. Last year, partly due to my procrastination, we couldn't get one in time. So, we bought a LBW Angus from a breeder with whom I've known for a couple years. He was not a real good looker (the bull), but had small head and shoulders, and EPD's that confirmed he should be a good heifer bull. Semen test was good, and the breeder kept spouting off about him being "Guaranteed". Put him in with 10 heifers, he bred 2. Called the breeder back about this "guarantee", and he said, "Have him semen tested and if he's no good, I'll give you another bull". Of course the semen test was fine. So the breeder in all his kindness offered to sell me another bull and said he would "treat me right". I asked why on earth I would want another one of his P.O.S. bulls, and give him another chance to "guarantee" me out of more money (as politely as I could, of course). He just hung up. Some people are soooooo sensitive. [/QUOTE]
