[QUOTE="fitz, post: 1263630, member: 1306"] Raising cattle is certainly a learning experience. With your mindset you should do fine. You've already evaluated your herd bull and know the direction you want to go in that regard. I enjoy Bull shopping hoping to improve each time. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I looked at the numbers on your bull and would consider him middle of the road. I like to review EPD's but have found out the hard way they don't in themselves make a herd sire. I've seen a lot worse on here from folks who believe they have something they don't. I've run some pretty good ones and some not so good. I beat mine up pretty good every time I look at him. The bull calf may have some potential and time will tell. The good thing about cattle is if they don't work out you don't have throw them away. They still have value. I agree with those here who have stated if you wouldn't want to buy one of your own bulls to run on cattle you'll be better served not to market him as a herd bull. Welcome to the boards. My daughter is also in the same line of work as you. Good luck with your cattle operations. [/QUOTE]
