[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 674881, member: 7645"] I am not completely in the Gardiner camp of total reliance on EPDs; but as a general rule: performance trumps looks. The hog people and the chicken people figured that out 40 years ago. It is well past time for the cattle people to figure that one out too. I could be all wrong; but I kinda expect this one beats 70% of his peers on most things I can measure on paper. I MIGHT find myself in the camp of hating this bull when he turns 12 months too; but I don't see enough negative here and now to place this calf in the steer camp (whether that is 40% of the calf crop, 50%, 60%, or 75%). I wouldn't take him to any show (though admittedly I couldn't care less about who wins what at shows); but at this point I see no LOGICAL reason why he can't breed El Putzo's cows. [/QUOTE]
