I was discussing this bull, CA Furture Direction 5321 with another cattle man. I had not ever considered using him or purchasing any of his offspring before, but, I really liked his looks. Not that I didn't like him, I guess I just considered him to be hot on the show circuit. But when I read across his numbers, he sounds like he might be a small bull. His BW is good, and his YW is just above average. One thing he did show strong in, are his Carcass and Ultrasound numbers.
Then the down side, I noticed that his Scrotal measurements says that he could easily use a pea shooter to arm himself, and then the heights show shorter and his mature weight lower.
So, for those that have actually seen the bull and his immediate offspring, how close do these EPD's hold true?
Is this mostly a show bull or is he useful in the commercial herd too?
