[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 821511, member: 5898"] I'd have to ask my nephew what he measured. Change in a bull battery just for the sake of change isn't always good-I like to find groups of half brothers to buy for customers. We have a group of 165 F1 baldies that the same group of 5 half brothers will stay with throughout their production cycle-when the ranch I'm working with goes to market the 3/4 AN/1/4 HH heifers off them we can predict to some extent what kind of cows they'll make. Some of the better herds I buy bulls from have gone back to using their own bulls A'I as the mainstream industry is not meeting their needs. Most good herds are more worried about taking a step back than making a giant leap forward. I think at times we confuse 'best' with 'most popular'-I used to shudder when a customer would want to know what the 'hot' bull was to breed his sale heifers too. Commercial men and astute purebred breeders use the heck out of good cattle-the rest chase rainbows to some extent. [/QUOTE]
