[QUOTE="dun, post: 623102, member: 34"] Last year when I was looking for a bull I traveled a circuit of about 100 miles in all directions from us. People had called me before this asking about RA bulls and I directed them to a guy that lives about 10 minutes from me. I had never given him a thought when I started looking for a bull myself. I drove the 10 minutes, he brought in the only 2 bulls he had left, a half hour later I was unloading one of them in my pasture. He was far and away the best of any of the bulls I had looked at in my distant travels. He only runs around 75 cows and culls mercilously. There is one thing I don;t care for in this bull, (his grandsire) but his calves will be treated strictly as terminals so it won;t have any affect on the overall herd. He sells his bulls from 1500 to 3-4000 depending on the individual bull. He considered this bull a tail ender. We'll know in late March if he lives up to our expectations. With only a couple of registered cows last year was the first bull calf that we felt had any promise. At 10 months he has completely fallen apart and will probably be nutted in March and shipped with the last of last years steers. [/QUOTE]
