[QUOTE="simme, post: 1823706, member: 40418"] Yes, some good discussions. But I will point out that the OP asked for feedback on this bull and then clarified that replacements are not likely to be retained from the matings. "Looking for growth, muscle and hip." So, he is looking for terminal traits from the mating. That eliminates the importance of several traits - milk and udders, longevity, maternal CE, fertility in the calves. Less importance on feet and structure (as long as they can travel to feed and water until slaughter), less importance on docility due to shorter life. Mainly needs growth/pounds in a package attractive to buyers if selling at weaning. Then add carcass traits and feed efficiency if owning them through the feedlot. [/QUOTE]
