[QUOTE="turning grass into beef, post: 508180, member: 5195"] That is a fantastic looking bull. I would never use him no matter what breed he is. If you are going to slaughter all of his offspring then he would be an excellent choice for a herdsire. He has demonstrated that he can convert large amounts of grain into beef. Personally I believe in keeping replacement heifers. If you keep heifers sired by this bull, how will you know if they will be able to maintain their condition and bring home a calf every year grazing on grass in the summer and eating low cost stored forages in the winter? I'm not saying you should refrain from giving bulls any grain. I just don't believe in feeding them a ration that is designed for feedlot steers that are going to be slaughtered. [/QUOTE]
