[QUOTE="novatech, post: 738495, member: 5494"] It becomes an ethics issue when they are marketed as something they are not. Looking at a lot of the advertising today bulls are being marketed more for their pedigree than anything else. The advertising is based on the qualities of the parents or grandparents. Ignorant buyers pick them up and perpetuate garbage and end up selling the same way they bought. I think the paper is important but should never out weigh the reality of proven live performance of the individual. I also beleive to many people are buying bulls on strictly potential. If they go out and spend several thousand dollars on a bull it is human nature to brag on the purchase no matter how sorry the bull turns out to be. It is the rare individual that will admit screwing up after investing the kind of money some of these bulls are bringing today. [/QUOTE]
