[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 1494125, member: 1257"] The thing that bothers me about the bull is the lack of performance info on him. I don't particularly trust the DNA stuff yet. I would not ever buy a "heifer" bull that doesn't have a documented BW and ratio in a contemporary group from someone I trust not to fudge the numbers. Since he has no EPDs and his dam only has interims, I can assume no performance info was documented on him. He could have weighed 50 lbs at birth or 105 and they had to take him out the side door. I don't know, gives me pause on him. Decent enough looking bull in the picture and the pedigree doesn't scare me but it isn't sleep all night safe for some people.. Like everything else in this world is the price right? Have you shopped around any? I bet plenty of bulls for sale in your area, find them and compare. [/QUOTE]
