[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4071"] Keeney Angus Nancy, Ky Mike Keeney 606-636-6500 Give Mike a visit before you buy. It will be very educational. Herd Bull Fertility by James Drayson and other information on Gearld Fry's site will teach you how to look at a bull and tell the ones not to buy. Picking the really good bulls from what is left will take many years of experience. Use what you can learn from this information to pick a breeder and let that breeder pick one of his bulls that he believes will work best on your cows. Mike is one of those breeders. Every study I've seen on cow/calf profitability, has found that reproductive efficiency is multiple times more important than growth traits and growth traits are more important than carcass traits.
