[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1555176, member: 24816"] In regards to UK and their work in the bull selection area, I have been to several meetings that they have had professors as speakers. I have heard one that made the statement that you don't always need the best bull. He says that sometimes folks buy a bull that has too much performance for their management. If I recollect it right he was saying that the daughters of said bull may be too heavy milking/hard keeping. Regardless of opinions positive or negative about the CAIP programs, I feel they have improved the quality of cattle. Sometimes I feel like it has artificially inflated purebred prices, and upped the price of mediocre bulls, nonetheless I reckon that is a step up from just buying a cow freshener though. I have also thought that the Cost Share guidelines have been skewed towards calving ease Angus. It appears somewhat difficult to find bulls of other breeds to meet the birthweight requirement.
