[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1134385, member: 20580"] Ha! I would hate to see how this thread would have turned out had the guys on HT been turned loose on it because I bet it would not have been pretty... Just gave an honest opinion, once again credit the guy for having thick skin and not taking the responses too personal. What works for some guys may not work for others and that goes for high priced cattle too as there are some bulls out there people are paying good money for that we probably wouldn't use for one reason or another too. Yeah our LBW bull sold pretty quickly as they usually do most years, I wouldn't consider the other 2 we have left heavy by any means, we cut anything over 90 which by some guys standards on HT is still "light." I don't care what some people say, commercial breeders still care about calving ease too. We have a nice Revolution bull calf we'll probably have to cut this fall because he was 93 at birth which not only would be tougher to sell but we strive for good calving ease in our program so he would not represent the goals of our program if we were to keep him intact and market him. We're very pro-black baldy and I am amazed how some on HT are so negative about it.
