[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1488177, member: 6543"] here in Virginia we still have one but it is dying the death of a thousand cuts. I used to be on the board and was on one of the test station committees. Back in the old days they used to come to the farm for members and weigh and grade calves....that went by the wayside decades ago...too expensive...but it was the introduction to performance testing... Over the years people bought scales and recorded their own information and sent it to BCIA. I don't think they do that anymore either... the bull tests used to be a big thing...Then the breeders started all running their own on farm tests and the BCIA tests have struggled to remain relevant...No shortage of bulls available.... As my daddy used to say, " The world would be a much nicer place if there were more good steers and geldings in it, and a lot less average bulls and stallions." [/QUOTE]
