[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1341797, member: 24565"] It depends on what I was breeding for. I will never use a bull known for bad feet. I chunked what I had unknowingly when I saw the bred heifers. They went as culled animals. I have some semen in the tank of a highly promoted bull that can sire animals that founder easy on hot feed. I just do not have the guts to use it and that is an environmental fault that I will not experience here. There were a few other minor unspokens on the bull that also bother me so it is not a one trait issue. If the DDC bull was great fit here and I wanted a son to use, I would use him, breed extra cows, test the calves, cull the carriers as sale barn cattle and see if a DDF son or two pans out. I have some DDC semen and they make great growth cattle. I just do not need that right now but would use it again and expect cattle that would tickle the eye of any commercial breeder who comes by.
