Just wondering what the average age of a bull is when he can't perform any longer? How old Was your oldest working bull?
I couldn't disagree more. I'm certainly no scientist or genetic expert, but that ain't right. I am of the opinion that this kind of thinking is what brings the genetic defects we see in the angus breed, where this kind of breeding is more prevalent. Too much inbreeding, linebreeding, whatever you want to call it.Lucky_P":3c92o9c7 said:I've got no problem with a good bull breeding his daughters - .

I would have to disagree with you. Take NH for an example in the black angus, it originated with 1680, he was not inbred, and his parents were not carriers, stuff happens.
If you want to know how good a bull is, breed him to a bunch of his daughters and you will know, all of his strengths and weaknesses will come out in the offspring.
