[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 622918, member: 8993"] In this day of good EPD's they should always be considered. I look at the epd's and then the bulls. If the epd's do not suit me i don't condsider the bull. I then look at the bulls with comparable epd's and pick considering each bulls makeup and frame score. Many times a $3000 bull may be cheaper than a $1500 bull over his lifetime. Also the smaller the herd the harder it is to give the higher price and make it work out for a profit. I buy most of my bulls from a small breeder with very good cattle. I buy them at 9 months old after they are weaned and vacinations given. $1500-$2000. I then raise them in the conditions that they will work. As many of us use some AI we rely on the epds and papers exclusively. Don't be fooled by the pictures because if you go where they are collected you would probably not be able to recognize them. Been there and was suprised [/QUOTE]
