[QUOTE="simme, post: 1771907, member: 40418"] Everybody knows that the genetic worth of a bull is from the chromosomes, not from the feed bucket. I agree that many and maybe most bulls end up with a shorter life due to overfeeding prior to sale. Even though bull buyers will agree with the above, they will tend to select big fat bulls. Do sellers produce overfed bulls because they are rewarded for that by the buyers? Or, do buyers purchase overfed bulls because that is what the sellers offer? Don't know if the chicken or the egg came first, but it is difficult to sell a smaller thinner bull. And sometimes difficult to find much of a selection of them. [/QUOTE]
