[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1133414, member: 20580"] This is where we are seeing difference of opinions in this thread. If you are just going to breed 2 random animals and sell to make money that is 1 thing but those who are trying to put the best quality product out there find fault in how this happened and for a good reason. First off can't blame him entirely for buying this bull, he had a need and a budget and the bull fit that description. I do ,however, blame the breeder who didn't cut his nuts off before he went to the sale barn. I don't care if that breeder is never going to see that animal again, if you aren't keeping him to feed out as a bull he should have been castrated long before he went to the sale barn so that poor quality doesn't reproduce and if that breeder thought this bull should remain a bull that is another issue in itself too. We cut bulls this past fall that looked far better than this poor guy does and sent them to the feedlot as steers. The best one of that bunch we probably could have taken a chance on but we didn't feel right trying to sell a bull that had a 95lb BW and we had enough bulls in the sale pen better than him it's never worth passing on those kind of genetics and risking damage to your reputation. Calhoun - best of luck to you and I hope you make some money, understand your situation and you have pretty thick skin to take on the criticism here but doesn't mean that people here don't have a good reason to be concerned about the scenario that has played out. The guy that didn't steer that bull a lot of people here probably have a bigger issue with as it's not a good practice to be letting animals of that quality continue to reproduce. [/QUOTE]
