[QUOTE="novatech, post: 527878, member: 5494"] Once all the above has been done there is one other thing I consider important. If it is a young unproven bull I like to see some consistency between the bull I like and other bulls in the same group. If this is the only good bull in a group of 10 it shows weakness in the genetic line. If the percentage of quality bulls his higher then the likelihood of the bull you select in passing on those genes will go up. If the bull is old enough to have had some calves on the ground then I will grade the bull on his progeny. I also like to see the dam, as 50% of what I am buying comes from her and will be passed on as well. Her udder quality is another important trait to look at. Many times it is not possible to get all the info. from the seller but I get as much as is available. [/QUOTE]
