[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1798902, member: 24565"] I am not knocking the GAR bull for his purpose. His purpose is for the terminal market. We need those type. I saw a lot of these bulls in later years in Louisiana breeding ear cattle. The breeders had tried the gamete of breeds, performance tested and such. The GAR and GAR derivative bulls, in that environment were stick figure type bulls that you would never purchase on looks. But the calves were desired by buyers. Not a knock but just what was - disposition was an issue on many. I have not kept up with Coleman but SAV seems to be a selection for cattle that eat concentrates and gain a lot of weight. What I need in the pastures are moderate, highly fertile females that are trouble free and eat grass. So I have no interest in record setting stuff. And when I say grass, I mean grass. Another no hay winter for the cows in the book. Hay is used as a tool to wean calves but not to sustain the cow herd. All about the bottom line. [/QUOTE]
