[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 1083982, member: 2960"] I don't completely understand this logic. A herd doesn't continually improve by selling its finest animals and keeping those that are more in line with the average. I'm a big fan of genetics. That said, they only matter when matched with a phenotypically correct animal. Otherwise, you've got an animal expressing the lesser of those genetics. If the lesser quality animals in another's herd are better than my best, I can see selling then buying replacements. Otherwise, I'll keep my own. Additionally, if I'm paying a premium for the average quality animals in another's herd, I should probably consider whether that money would be better spent by upgrading my bull. It's rare that anyone is knowingly selling their best. EC [/QUOTE]
