[QUOTE="SEC, post: 425549, member: 3241"] Are you saying you can't tell by a picture if a bull has muscle or not? Don't need to see a bull or not to know if he has muscle, a picture is worth a thousand words. I never said that there shouldn't be any marbling or that it wasn't a concern. But especially in yearling cattle that go to the feedlot, they will marble, time/age seem to be as much of a factor as anything. Definitely mgmt has a big bearing on it as well. I said I couldn't get semen on the bull as it's not exportable. You'd better inform me what EPD's will tell you because you obviously get more out of them than I do. Not saying weights aren't important, as they do have a place. But I don't need to know what the weights are to know if I am going to like a bull or not. Secondly, 450lb wwt bulls become steers not bulls. After that you probably won't notice much difference from bull to bull. [/QUOTE]
