[QUOTE="UG, post: 344607, member: 714"] skcatlman, I agree with you. Many of these semen marketers will hide any traits that they think will be detrimental to sales. For example, I was told by one of the distributors of SLC Freedom semen that his frame score was last measured at 7.4 (this has been a few years ago) yet this same distributor's catalog still showed his yearling frame score which I believe was 6.8. It also cracks me up how guys will promote that there isn't a horned animal in a young bull's 4 generation pedigree. They fail to disclose that the sire and maternal grand sire are both hetero polled, thus giving this young bull a fairly high probability of having the horned gene. [/QUOTE]
