[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 101274, member: 615"] This kind of goes along with what MY said: My grandpa had a this bull. He was a really good, sound, solid bull, but not the biggest, most muscular bull, nothing too great to look at. But he was the best producing bull i've ever seen. No matter what kind of cow he was with, they nearly always produced awesome calves. Produced many World Grand Champion offspring out of many different types of females (body, muscling, and pedigree differences). Then he bought 2 outstanding females (great body, conformation, capacity, and stellar pedigrees) from another breeder. The 2 females had similar breeding and were same in their type and kind. 6 calves out of this mating (3 from each female) later, and zero calves worth keeping. To me, this just shows that sometimes 2 animals that are outstanding in their own right, might not produce offspring that are as good as you'd hoped, or as you thought they should be. [b]MY said:[/b] I think the above story is a good example of that quote. That bull with those 2 females should have produced home run calves. But for some reason that cross just didnt work.
