[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 751595, member: 4353"] The biggest dud I ever bought was when I bought an average cow from a top breeder who was bred to a bull I was very high on at the time. The beautiful bullcalf weaned the heaviest of al my calves that year, but had a faulty scrotum and was culled. Her next calf, also a bull, was culled because of a heavy bw and weaned at just about average for my herd. Her next two heifer calves was culled because they just didn't meet my standards for weaning weight. I didn't lose money on her because I got 4 calves out of her and she is bred back, but she never justified her purchase for the reasons I wanted her for. She is 9 now and looks like she is 19, if I can get her fat enough if it rains again she'll be hamburger. [/QUOTE]
