You sell fat "gain tested" bulls whose breeding lives are shortened from being fed hot rations, and I market mine as completely forage developed and I stand behind my bulls as being ones who will thrive on grass, harsh management, and tough conditions. I had two bull calves that would have done pretty well on a grain test and would have looked good enough when they were fat to fetch a pretty penny. But, they don't fit in here, and they're both going to make nice little feeder steers. Again, I walk the walk.
You have no idea what I sell....or if I sell anything at all. There's no research showing that gain testing bulls shortens their lives. You need to step back and understand that just because someone you admire tells you something doesn't mean it's true. We stand behind our bulls, too. Shocking, isn't it? You don't have a clue how those calves would have done on a grain test because you didn't send them to one! Get some on a test somewhere....then you can say you walk the walk. Otherwise it's just hot air. :roll:
