[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1462140, member: 13402"] Cinch There Are several reasons we send Bulls to the test, one of them is to get a comparison of our genetics against both other Angus operations as well as other breeds. Don’t get me wrong I don’t put bulls in the test to win, it isn’t an ego thing, I do want a real world comparison of how my genetics perform against other progressive breeders. We develop Bulls here at home as well and use test gains to compare gains we get on the farm. They do offer a sale at the end of the test so a marketing opportunity for those that choose to use it. Name recognition for your farm or ranch is another reason. They do ultra sound measurements as well as a BSE. We do a BSE on all bulls sold off the farm but do not do ultra sound. We do DNA testing on all of our Bulls so have opted to use that data in lieu of actual ultra sound data. Bull test should be used as a tool to help you improve your individual operation.
