[QUOTE="blackcowz, post: 713042, member: 8834"] For all I know, you're just blowing hot air yourself. I've grain fed cattle for seven years now, and I have a pretty good idea of what some time and fat can do for an animal. It sounds shocking that I know something, but even in my short life, I've learned a little. To reach their potential, both these calves would have needed feed put in front of them in order to grow and perform. They don't have the guts or quality to perform on grass. Additionally, what about all those posts of your pics of bulls on grain that you said were yours? Also, I can make reference to several statements where you explained that you sold bulls through a local test. Don't just go off when you know nothing of my operation either. Now, I didn't say it shortened a bull's "life". Read closely. I said "breeding life". It IS a proven fact that bulls fed a hot ration while being developed do not last as long breeding. If you don't believe that, there is plenty of information on grain fed bulls being less potent, having lower sperm production, etc. Talk about expressing genetic potential. :? Finally, you have no idea how we test bulls. Here's a rundown. The bull calf crop is grouped together and put on stockpiled native grass. They have a trace mineral salt block and periodical alfalfa protein supplement. If they can't express their true genetic merit in that test, they don't need to be here. [/QUOTE]
