[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 279911, member: 1604"] Commercial cattlemen are complete fools to not buy the bulls from a recognized bull test whether it be grain or forage. Since the cost has become prohibitive to feed all their bulls in a test, the seedstock producers pick the "Best of the Best" to enter in tests. No one knows a breeders bulls better than the man that raised them. Most all bull tests include ultrasound which will tell you which ones are "Butterballs" and which ones are muscular. Our bull tests examine for almost every disease and sickness known to man or beast and you are assured of healthy animals. Those that bloat more than once are sent home to assure you they not are experiencing laminitis or rumenitis, among many others. Proper vacs and tests are normally done better than "On Farm" bulls. Contrary to popular belief, bulls fed for 84-112 days are no more prone to problems in the pasture afterwards than those that are not. Bulls don't forget how to graze.... :lol: :lol: Auburn Univ. has done a longevity study on bulls that came out of tests and show that they are more fertile and last longer than their weaning co-horts. Had you rather have a bull that was allowed to express his genetic merit/potential, or one that has not? If your answer is no......you really don't have an idea what you are buying. :P Even an "On-Farm" test is better than nothing.................. [/QUOTE]
