He can look at the calves already on the ground to know what kind of calves he will have.
True....and that one is a loser. Is that "white" hair on his belly or snow??? He looks like he's about as old as dirt.sim.-ang.king":q7ln85m8 said:A good cattleman don't need epd's.Mat Man":q7ln85m8 said:Genitics maybe????-- By picture no

trust is one thing ,,thankfully we all got eyes of our own,,, though if you told me he was in the AAA i might have believed it :cowboy:sim.-ang.king":3o1akd7a said:Your right, this bull isn't part of AAA and yes he is as old as dirt 10 years old, some of his heifers are crap.
This some bull some guy gave us to get rid of and to get a little use maybe out of him before we haul him off.
This just a test to show you can't always trust what they show on here so don't fall for the guys who say I use this such bull or I have this such when they don't.

I note that you joined CT a month ago. Welcome to the most informed producers on the Internet! You might wait and read more posts before you decide that some of the posters here don't know enough to be trusted. WRONG. If you are naive enough to "- - get a little use maybe out of - -" before you really KNOW what and why you are selecting a bull (or a female), you deserve to lose about ten years in recovering your losses - both Phenotypically AND Genetically (EPD's).
Rhetorical question for you: Why do you surmise that the Universities and investigative businesses have spent literally MILLIONS of dollars in determining the reliability and functionality of EPD's if they are no more valuable than "--your good eye?" Why haven't they just come to you for your "Selection Decisions?"

As producers are looking for a smaller framed cows with less mature size, they are going to produce feeder steers and heifers that will meet resistance from order buyers as being too small. I got one of those "talking too's" Monday morning as we sorted the cattle bought at several sales over the weekend.
