[QUOTE="Luckiamute, post: 1571397, member: 14286"] Based on your location, I'm assuming you're referencing the bull sale at Chehalis Livestock Auction Market. I saw this advertised in the paper and have always wondered what type of quality the bulls were. Are they all registered or just purebred? Who's consigning them? Are these breeders known in the area or just the small "backyard breeders" or the "hobby farmers"? I think too many breeders -- big and small -- keep too many bull calves as bulls and don't castrate as many as they should. Just because it might have good bloodlines doesn't mean it should be kept a bull. Too many people are lazy and won't cull heavy enough. And then there's the folks who buy these poor-quality yearlings and are just happy if they breed their cows and produce a live calf every year without consideration to the quality of the offspring. Totally agree with your statement "I can't respect idiots raising steer prospects into bulls." [/QUOTE]
