[QUOTE="JWBrahman, post: 1201039, member: 18439"] Sporder, that is a great attitude to have and your customers will repay your diligence. For what it is worth the bulls are not as bad as many on this site and they would probably work out fine for a small hobby operation with a handful of black cows. I posted the article in response to TB's 2 word reply that probably wasn't that helpful. It helps to know why and what people consider a cull. I think Doc missed the part where you mentioned you were trying to build a reputable seedstock operation. If it is your reputation and your future in the breed is at stake only register and sell your best. You will never regret it. Selling one you are not behind 1000% tends to be something everyone regrets at some point. Edit- Just returned from checking cattle. My cousin dropped off the 3 Charolais bulls a few days ago. This is the group that showed up last year knotted with muscle, a BCS of 6-7, and very small testicles. All of the old guys around here said the bulls were implanted with steroids to get in that condition. Well, regardless of how the testicles ended up small they are still small and the bulls are showing zero interest in the cows. No libido whatsoever. The Hereford with a big scrotum is chasing them everywhere and the Charolais are fighting with each other when they are not eating. [/QUOTE]
