[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1793012, member: 6291"] It blows my mind. I won't even buy bulls crowded up in pens. I want to walk and push them around to see how they move. Genetics don't mean squat if they can't chase a cow down and do the deal. I use to buy some Brangus bulls froma guy a little north of us when I was a lot younger. He was real laid back and patient with me. Always giving pointers but never pressured me or any thing. After buying a few we got to know each other pretty good. I went to buy a Brangus and we looked through the bulls and got to talking just general cattle. He said, come with me to this another place we got. We got about 20 Angus plus type bulls over there. I moaned a little but he said... just come look. We drove over there and they were sure enough nice. He's pitching their growth, and easy to handle, and they will make you more money... the whole 9. ... I gave him the... I understand, but will they hold up? He guaranteed me if they didn't he would replace it with a Brangus no questions asked. We walked around the little pasture and I was kind of sifting through them. I zeroed in on one that was a meat wagon and moved like a cat. He was just chillin along the fence letting us admire him about 200yds from an alley to their pens. I looked at him and said... if you and I can walk him to the pens and load him I will take him. He laughed and we shook on it. We walked him nice and easy right up to the lane with all the other bulls out grazing. I was impressed he would single out like that. Right at the gate to the pens he did a little turn back and tried to dip out. We both did a side jump and cut him off and spun him back to the pens. We both laughed. He said... you were almost off the hook. 🤣 We bought one more Angus + from him then went full BA. He gets all the credit for getting me away from composites. [/QUOTE]
