[QUOTE="tapeworm, post: 83277, member: 1094"] Guess thats what you call a condesending question????LOL Have I ever heard of a terminal sire???? Yep..for about 30 something years probaly...maybe longer...not quite sure when that term came about. Youre right that everbody needs to buy bulls that fit em. But I know that you are not naive enough to think that all female progeny of terminal sires take a ride down the rail before they ever shed baby teeth. Someof those cattle work there way into the cowherd....especially with markets like they are now and demand for replacements as high as it is. Just how big will those cows mature??? What does that do to the average size of the cowherd??? All the time chasing those bigger and bigger numbers....to use on a cowherd that seems like to me is increasing in size ever year. Sure theres some move by a few to moderate cow size..but is it to little to late??? You may know all of those answers Frankie...I dont. I read your postings Frankie...you keep up with the commercial side of this business. Some breeders dont and you know that to My point is that some (not all) registered breeders dont have an end in sight...they just keep on chasing bigger numbers.....bigger weights and bigger ribeyes.
